Distance Learning Memes {The Most Relatable Memes on Distance Learning}

One week down! It has been a hectic week, but I think a lot of us are starting to get the hang of the new technology and things have started to go smoother! Thank you all for your hard work and perseverance! It's stressful enough to deal with so many changes in our lives, but then to compound it with an entirely different mode of learning has definitely aggravated the situation! However, it will get easier as we move forward! I have become aware of many of the tech errors I created within these first two weeks of activities and, after some experimentation, feel confident about the Google Classroom platform as well as many of the apps that can utilized with it! Let's stay motivated and rock out the rest of the Getting to Know Me assignments!

Looking Ahead: Weeks 2 and 3

This week (week 2), we will continue with our Getting to Know Me activities. These activities serve two primary functions: to get to know each other and to learn the basics of several of the apps we may be using in the future.

Week 3 will be a little different. All 9th-11th graders must take the mock ACT online. All of my AP Lang/Comp students will take this test and it will be your primary assignment for the week. Those English 4 students who are listed as being in the 11th grade will also have to take the test. The test will be conducted online and should link via our Google classroom (for the ACT English section). You will receive a grade for completion of the test! Try your best and take advantage of the free practice!

Independent Reading

I have decided not to require any Independent Reading assignments for this month. However, your summer reading must be completed ASAP. I will provide more information via Google Classroom in a tab titled "Independent Reading" soon.

As a result, there is no excuse to fall behind with our coursework! You should have sufficient time to learn the apps and navigate the assignments for Week 1 and 2.
