Below are additional Chapter 12 materials that represent content we previously covered in class. These are provided if you feel the need to review key content ideas before you take the test on SchoolNet.
COVID-19 : Options for Remediation--For anyone looking to retake an assessment from before COVID-19 Break on March 12th.
:
:
- Per our administration's guidance I am offering students the opportunity to supplement instruction in a variety of approaches. One way to do this is to offer the students the chance to retake any assessment the students have done during the second semester. Students, please go to your PowerSchool and look at tests and quizzes you may want to improve on. Use the documents and videos below to review the content and prepare for the assessment.
- Below our a links to the documents for previous chapters (9-11). Within these documents you will find "guided notes" the students had received and completed, as well as possible test questions. Students can access them via "Google Doc Links" listed below.
- Additionally, for each chapter I have listed links to videos that may help refresh the students understanding of past content.
- Also, if your families subscribe to Comcast/XFinity for their internet and cable the History Channel is offering free access to many of their series "on demand". Certain series like "The Men Who Built America-Frontiersman" & "America Story of US" are well done drama/recreations of the key events we have talked about in class that have shaped our country.
- Lastly I am going to include the "FINAL EXAM" question bank so students who would like to work ahead may do so.
- If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email me at [email protected]
