Assignments DUE weekly
Students will be reviewing for the APWH test. I will be posting assignments weekly and they will be provided with other optional review material. College Board has decided to do a 45 minute at home test for the APWH test this spring. I will be communicating with students what that will look like once College Board releases the information. We will adjust our lessons and review accordingly.
Google Classroom/Assignment due dates will be posted to google classroom with the assignment. Reviews should be complete prior to testing.

One assignment posted per week/assignments due weekly-- time per week: 30 minutes (depends on how much time you spend looking for an article, look at a few then select one that stands out to you the most.)
This class will have assignments each week that cover some of the remaining important standards, such as the branches of government, political ideology, civil liberties and domestic and foreign policy. The students will also have opportunities to make-up any assessments that they weren't able to do before the school closure.

Students will use their textbook and class materials to review the first three units of the AP Government curriculum. At this point everything is purely review in preparation for the test in May. Each week on Monday the students will be assigned a review of a unit and then on Friday I will have some practice exam questions for them through the AP Central site since the test this year is all written.
Make sure and always read the Stream in Google Classroom. I will be making announcements about what the AP College Board is doing as well as putting more resources on the Google Classroom.

For Social Studies Foundations Class, all you need to do is check-in once a week. You can do this through Google Form in Google Classroom/email, or you can text me. You choose.
Nasario might also be trying to get a hold of you weekly. Texting and emailing is the best way to communicate so we can both use the translator. We miss you and can’t wait to hear from you!
------------------------
Para las Fundaciones de Estudios Sociales, todo lo que necesita hacer es registrarse una vez por semana. Puede hacerlo a través del formulario de Google que se publicará en Google Classroom / correo electrónico, o puede enviarme un mensaje de texto. Tu eliges.
Nasario también podría estar tratando de contactarte semanalmente. Los mensajes de texto y correos electrónicos son la mejor manera de comunicarse para que ambos podamos usar el traductor. ¡Te extrañamos y estamos ansiosos por saber de ti!

BE - Continuous Learning: Traditional education is so 2019. I hope this finds you well and open to a handful missions to finish out your Business Economics semester. Please know that I took special care to come up with the most practical and realistic plan that I could.
#1 - The grade that you had going into break is your current grade. Some assignments have been exempted and you should have already seen those changes.
#2 - Your grade can be maintained and even raised through completion of your Weekly Missions (there are 4 -- 2 Reviews, 1 New, and the Final Mission). Weekly missions will be posted at the beginning of each week as a suggested schedule, but students have until May 3 to complete them. All missions start with a video, then offer options for completion.
#3 - Weekly Check-Ins count as attendance. Students can complete the weekly Google Form (sometimes a video is attached) OR they can text or call me each week. There are also optional weekly Twitter Challenges.
#4 - Students may make-up or re-do any missing assignment from Quarter 3 in order to raise their initial grade. This is optional. Students have until May 3 to take advantage of this opportunity.
#5 - If you have any questions or concerns, remember I am just a text, email or phone call away, so please don’t hesitate to reach out.
