We had our first Google Meet last night and the technical glitch that compromised the audio version wasn't even the low point of a painfully slow conversation about one of the most exciting time periods in American History. It is difficult to recreate an organic conversation in what is the equivalent of a 1996 AOL chat room. Many students contributed accurate responses to my questions, but the exchange was limited by the platform.  In an attempt to keep my sanity and finish the year on a positive note, I am changing the format for the final three weeks. 

 

You WILL NOT be required to attend any live Google Meets. I have assembled a team of co-hosts to cover the content from 1945 to 1985. We will provide the conversation on the content.  I don't want to end the course by forcing students into a conversation they don't want to have in an online environment they are not comfortable in. That is zero fun for everyone and no way to wrap up the school year. 

 



 

What has NOT changed

 

TOPIC SUMMARIES: Submit the summary of your select topic from the 1945 to 1985 Google Sheet. This exercise will be worth 25 points.

FINAL EXAM: Complete the Three timed SAQ questions on Monday June 8th as part of our course final exam. The exam  will go live in Schoology at 12:00. Prep and plan accordingly. 45 points (weighted as 15% of your grade)
