Next Week: Monday is a holiday (MLK). Monday/Tuesday classes will shift to Tuesday/Wednesday. There will be no "asynchronous" day -- Wednesday is a day of classes.
Quick Guide for Distance Learning:
Grades: I start a new gradebook each quarter. Check Aeries regularly and email me if you have questions.
Google Classroom: Do not move or copy the assignments in such a way that I cannot find/read them in GC. Please don't "turn in" blank documents. This will not prevent the assignment from being "missing" in Aeries.
Late Work: Late work may be eligible for partial credit. Check with me in advance for approval to do late work from previous units. Focus on recent work -- the current unit and the one immediately before the current unit.
Copied Work: If you turn in work that is copied from any source, I will give you a zero for that assignment. This includes work copied from another student.
Student support: Check the new schedule for the new times to meet with teachers. There is no "Open" Trojan Time this semester. I will hold "drop in" Office Hours on Mondays and Thursdays, after the last class of the day. Links will be posted in GC.

I'll post a generic form for note-taking for your optional use. I will also post this form in the Reference/Resources section if you want to make a copy of it.
Watch this week's AP videos. There are also two Edpuzzle videos, one on Neoclassicism and one on Romanticism. Next up: Realism.
I posted the art slides that exclusively focus Neoclassicism, Romanticism, and Realism, as well as maps from 1740 to 1815 in GC.
Reminder: if you watch AP videos after I have already scored them, you will need to send me an email identifying which videos you watched.
I have posted the MC test for Chapter 19 as a review. See how many you can answer without looking them up....but look them up if you must.
We will be discussing the concept of "Natural Law," which was so influential during the Enlightenment revolutions and remains so today.
I have posted the SG for Chapter 20 (the early 19th century). There are multiple chapters on the 19th century. Read the first section of text. Questions are posted in GC.
