Monday 4/13

Happy Monday everyone.

Hope you guys had a nice Spring Break week,  I know things are tough for everyone, so hang in there!  Today, I'm giving an extra day to finish the Sparta and Athens Adobe Spark Video.

Please let me know if anyone needs my help in finishing and also, make sure to be creative with different layouts/themes/music and be sure that your recording is OUTSTANDING, not simply reading your words robotically.  Make it awesome and TURN IN on EDMODO!!!  thanks, if you're done, feel free to read ahead in the book.

tuesday 4/14

Please read these 2 pages from the Greeks Book and complete the attached worksheet.  If you can't print the worksheet, just click on it here and download it and do on your computer.  If that fails, just write it out on a piece of paper :)  If you can't read these pages, download them so you can zoom in!  Thx for your patience!  And, just so you know, I'm on a Zoom meeting right now, if you'd like to chat!  It's 9:45am
