REMEDIATION! Check the document I posted Friday. If your name is on it, you need to complete the CSA remediation by Wednesday May 20th.
We are working on political parties. Last week you defined vocabulary, this week you are looking at different parties within the USA’s platform. We will look at the preamble (green party, libertarian party, democratic party and republican party) and fill in the “T” chart accordingly.
You will take the Isidewith.com quiz. You must complete that in 1 sitting, else-wise you will lose your quiz results and will not be able to do the reflection, so please plan enough time to complete (30-45 minutes).
