Wednesday Aug 16th Day 1

World Cultures 1,2

This is the Classroom Blog - you will log-in to this site each day when you arrive.

(Monday’s ) - these are shorter days the bell schedule changes on Monday’s. Monday’s are known as Mapping and Current Event Monday’s. Each Monday you will search and write a summary covering two current events. There is a  Current Events Template that you will use to write-up your current event story.
In addition, you will establish a MyMaps (from mymaps.google.com) world map to place the location of your current event.


(Tuesday's-Friday's) These are block days. After your table group has retrieved the chromebooks, log-in to your sjusd acct, and go to the class blog for daily activities/assignments/etc
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Today we will get temporary seating assignments, go over the course syllabus, classroom expectations, procedures, etc, etc.


Each day students will go to the chromecart as a table group. Each student is assigned a Chromebook based on your seat number.

Students will never get their chromecart when they enter the room, it will always be as a table group


You will log-in and access the class blog - SJUSD student log-in


We will also be using Google Classroom for assignment submission (if the assignment is electronic in nature) On the class blog are the class codes for Google Classroom.

Remind App- Go to Class website to get directions


I will try to use the Remind app as a tool to get reminders to all students regarding assignments, tests, quizzes, projects, etc. It’s not a perfect system, and students should not solely rely on the App to remind them of deadlines, but it is one more tool of communication I will try to implement.  The link to sign-up for the app is on the class website.
