Lessons, Materials, Resources, etc.

Please note: Until we are ALL comfortable with Teams and are confident that every assignment is accessible, I will post ALL lessons and links here as well as on Teams. These links and materials are NOT additional. They are on our Class Teams in the Files, Assignments, Chat, etc. tabs. This is a backup in the event you cannot access something on Teams.

Please READ entire message:

> Every post will include the Goals, Do Now: Polly, Reading/Video, Assignments, Due Date, and SUBMISSION* Format

> Assignments MUST BE SUBMITTED* -NOT-emailed, texted in Remind as a message or image, posted in class Chat, or direct messaged to me.

> You MUST check our class Team EVERY morning to check for new messages and/or the day's assignments.

> STAY ORGANIZED! Write your assignments (for ALL classes) in your agenda!

*SUBMISSION FORMATS:

Upload to Assignment 2020 Folder, complete the document attached to an assignment, post a response on a message board, complete a form, complete a quiz in Assignments, complete a Castle Learning quiz/assignments.

STRONG RECOMMENDATION: SAVE A WORD DOC ON YOUR DESKTOP. COPY & PASTE ANYTHING YOU SUBMIT. This is insurance...you know how frustrating it is when you know you saved something, but you cannot find it.
