Students will read the chapters as indicated in the weekly agenda. The online textbook can be accessed by going through LCPSGO!, clicking the "Textbooks" folder, clicking "NGL Sync", then clicking the icon as shown above.

FAQ
Why are some teachers emailing that digital learning won't start until March 30? The first directive from the school system was to being sharing material with students on March 23 but then changed it to March 30. I decided to share my site and agenda starting on March 23 to ensure enough time to cover all of the World History SOLs before the end of school year.
Will the review assignments be graded? As directed by the Superintendent, all review assignments are optional and not be graded.
When are each unit's assignments due? I laid out the agenda on a weekly basis and encourage students to cover the items in the agenda at their own pace over the week. With review material, some students might feel that each item isn't necessary as they have mastered the material based on quizzes and tests completed over the school year.
