Attention: This site is no longer active and will not be used for NTI 2.0. A new platform is being built and will be shared soon.
Weekly Directions: Welcome to NTI (non-traditional instruction) learning! This is a whole new world for all of us, but I hope that you will enjoy the learning that will happen in this new format. All of my classes will have the same assignments to work on, but please note that all work for each week should be turned in on Friday or Saturday of each week.

Students will learn about a new country every day using the website https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/population-by-country/ and a youtube video I post in google classroom. Also, each day will have an essential question to answer related to our current lesson. This weeks lessons are all about the 1st 10 amendments. AKA The Bill of Rights.
Students will also have 4 short assignments to complete.
Assignment 1 - Watch Khan Academy video about 1st Amendment and write a 4 sentence reflection.
Welcome to week 2 of NTI learning! This has been a crazy experience, but I feel like we are all started to get a handle on it. I was so happy to see and interact with most of my students last week. I am sure the workload seems like a lot, but please encourage you student to keep working hard!

We are beginning our final unit of study which is Political Parties.
This weeks' assignments include 2 readings and one video. There are definitions, questions, and a chart to complete for this week.
This is a little bit shorter than usual because I have asked student to do academic advising (checking their grades and missing work in infinite campus) on Monday.
We only have two weeks left and students have been informed that they need to be turning in any missing work they have asap.
I am also posting a recovery assignment for students that need to bring up their Bill of Rights test grade.
We are continuing to learn about on political parties this week. Last week students defined vocabulary, this week they are looking at different parties within the USA’s platform.
We will look at the party preambles (green party, libertarian party, democratic party and republican party) and fill in the “T” chart accordingly.
Students 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).
Students have an OPTIONAL TIA project which can be turned in for extra credit.
