Instructions
You need to earn 100 Knowledge Points each quarter. You need to complete at least one of each Knowledge Tasks below. Other opportunities for points and bonus points may pop up on Schoology, especially on snow days, sub days and other low-attendance days (like before breaks). You will have some time in class to work on these. I use some Ted Talks in class, you may use those for this assignment.
