Important Information for All Students:
We are nearing the end of another week of Distance Learning. Take a moment to reflect on your adjustment to this process. The school administration is working to create improvements in this process, in case we have to continue the Distance Learning model in the future. You will need to adapt to this model in order to be successful in your educational goals.

I am often writing comments and corrections directly on the work you have submitted in Google Classroom.  If you want to read the comments or corrections, you will need to re-open your documents.

If you are a senior, please respond to the senior survey!

Important Information for All Students:
Progress reports: Fourth quarter progress reports will be submitted to the office today. A note about "grades."  Most of you will not see any grade/progress report.  Only students who have not been responding to Distance Learning and/or are in danger of failing the second semester will receive a progress report grade.

I would like to give positive feedback to all of you who are regularly turning in work for US History! Many of you are doing your best to adapt to the Distance Learning environment, and I want you to know that this is a benefit to you, even if it is difficult to stay motivated. The assignments you are completing are essential curriculum for your grade level!  In the future, your high school teachers and college instructors will certainly expect that you know this stuff!  Give yourself a pat on the back for taking responsibility for your education in a very challenging time!

Reminder: Wednesdays are "open-campus" from 8:00 am to 10:00 am.  This is a good time to retrieve things from your locker.  Classrooms are not open.

Just try to get all the Cold War assignments finished.

1. Cold War/50s Quiz:  The quiz is posted in Google Classroom.  Open the quiz (it's a Google Form), and click the correct answers.  Don't forget to submit the quiz when you are finished.

Reminder: Open-campus on Wednesday, from 8:00 am to 10:00 am.  Since on-campus instruction will not resume for the remainder of this academic year, this is a time for you to collect personal items from your locker.

In case you haven't heard, final exams have been cancelled.  I will continue to post quizzes and tests, but we will not have the usual school-wide final exams.

The administration is trying to work out how to do end-of-the-year stuff -- graduation, locker cleanout, book check in/out, equipment returns, awards, etc.  You will be receiving information about these things in the coming weeks.

Continue to check Aeries.  This is a quick way for your and your parents to see how well you are adjusting to the Distance Learning model.

I am currently posting progress report "grades" for 4th quarter. The grading possibilities are CR (credit) and NC (no credit).

Not a lot of attendance at last week's Office Hours. If you have questions about assignments or late work or whatever, you should check in for Office Hours. I may switch from Google Hangouts to Zoom, so be on the lookout for an invitation.

Keep emailing me with typos, errors, bad links, etc. I have been able to correct several mistakes based on student feedback!

A note about late work:  It will be easier for you to understand the current assignments if you go back and complete assignments that you have missed. All the material I'm assigning right now is considered "essential" knowledge for US History students.  However, if you have multiple missed assignments, it's easy to get overwhelmed.  My advice is to start with recent/current assignments and try to get back on a regular schedule for your schoolwork in all your classes.  If you have time, you can always go back to earlier assignments, but you will feel better if you start with the stuff we're doing right now.

APEH:
I should have your SG for Chapter 26.
You should be downloading/studying the lectures I'm posting.  For purposes of the unit test, I will assume that you know the material in the lectures as well as the textbook.

I will continue to post lecture notes for this unit. For many of you, some of this stuff will be review. However, there is more political detail than you are used to.

Pay special attention to the whole "totalitarian" thing...what are the goals of total government control (whether communism or fascism), and how it is achieved.  How did these extremists come to power?  Why did so many people support them? How did they maintain control over such large societies?  You should be able to offer answers to these question. Be sure to contextualize!  These systems arose in particular historical circumstances.
