Purpose:

The videos below are the unit presentation lectures given in class to help students complete their notes pages in the student workbook. They are assigned with questions using the Edpuzzle service through Google Classroom. It is important that students watch the videos all the way through and answer all the questions for credit. If any question is left unanswered, the video will appear as incomplete, so make sure to double check!

Please use these videos to preview the work necessary to succeed on the unit assessments, including the paragraph. Sometime multiple viewings will help make the key ideas clearer, so be ready to visit this page many times throughout the year.
