ESOL US History Week of April 20 - 24

I uploaded a quiz for the Cold War notes that is due April 21 and a Power Point for the Final Lectures due April 23. Rather than have you fill in Cloze Notes since many of you don't have printers, I will have you summarize the notes.

This week, just keep working on your Part-time Indian Questions. I will put the grades in the gradebook in 3 separate grades Chapters 1 -10, Chapters 11-20 and Chapters 21-30. Each section will be worth 50 points, for a total of 150 points if you complete all of the book and questions. We will also have a final narrative that you can do. I will explain the details of that later. It will take the place of a final exam.

ESOL US History Week of March 30 - April 3

This week we will focus on World War II. I am creating a World War II Webquest that I will put on Google Classroom sometime tomorrow. There is a PPT and Cloze notes for WWII on Mr. Moss's blog that you can access here. http://www.cobblearning.net/mrmoss/

I have heard from about half of the class. I need to hear from the rest of you and you need to send me some work. If you have questions about what you should have already done, feel free to text me at 404-375-4392.

I added the WWII webquest to Google Classroom. If, for some reason, you cannot get onto Google Classroom, please let me know, so that I can help you get on. The webquest is due on Friday along with the cloze notes from WWII.

ESOL World Lit Week of March 30 - April 3

You should have finished Persepolis and sent me pictures of your completed question packet by Friday, March 27. If you have not done it, then you need to work hard at completing that. We will begin to read The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian this week. We'll follow the one chapter a day schedule that we did with Persepolis. I have posted reading questions and Youtube videos of  audio-readings of the first three chapters. I will continue to post them as we progress through the week.

ESOL American Lit Week of March 30 - April 3

This is the last week to work on the American Dream unit. If you were at school on Thursday, March 12, then you got the folder with most of the materials for the unit. So far, I have heard from very few of you and as far as the body paragraphs and essay are concerned, I have gotten one body paragraph from one student. You are going to need to really step it up this week. There will be no online instruction over Spring break. Please go to Google classroom and look at the resources I have posted there. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to text me at 404-375-4392.

Tuesday-I added several new resources to Google Classroom to help you write your essays.

Welcome to week 2 of digital learning. I have only heard from one of you. Please contact me either through Remind or my email, vivian.huntington@cobbk12.org.

I would love to hear from you to know your status. I added a short lecture about how the Treaty of Versailles impacted World War II. I will continue to record and add other lectures about World War II this week. Please understand that this was my first attempt at recording a lecture; at the end, I couldn't figure out how to turn it off. Feel free to laugh!
