Hello Students!
Thank you to those students who have been joining my Google Meetings and who have joined Google Classroom.
We will not have a class meeting today. However, I will be available in Google Meeting from 1:00 – 2:00 if students need help with anything. The following students should join me today and I will try to help you join Google Classroom.: Rezwana, Tiblets, Rajae, Shamsedin, Cyusa, Jacky, & Selam
Today’s Lesson:
- Join my Google Classroom (if you haven’t yet)
- Do the Malala -Ch.1 assignment in Google Classroom and turn in to me when finished. I will also post the Ch. 1 paragraph assignment if any students want to type it in there. Most students have already sent me an email of this assignment, so this if just for students who have not done it yet.
- Re-read Ch. 2 of Who is Malala?
- Complete the Ch. 2 Questions assignment in Google Classroom.
- Write either a Retell, Relate or Reflect paragraph about Ch. 2. Make sure to use at least one of the Ch. 2 vocabulary words in your paragraph (from the Malala study booklet -pg. 11). Please do this assignment in Google Classroom. It is due on Monday, April 26.
