Greetings Students!
As you can see, I'm not here. Here's the plan for today.....
Based on my observations from last week, some of you have been very productive and others have not, which likely means you're in different places depending on your accomplishments last week (and what you did additionally this weekend for homework).
This video is short and hopefully helpful in telling the "story" of the New Deal. We can watch this together before diving into our work for today.
Here are the reminders & expectations. You can determine what you need to do based on where you fall on this list currently.
Step 1: Research your topic! (the assignment sheet can be found in the link below)
[additional directions and steps can be found here, especially if you're stuck, uncertain what to do, or missed a day of class]
Step 2: Fill out your notes into the organizer which is the last page of the assignment packet (please note: SOME topics only impact a specific place, but most topics you will be able to find a local connection. It may require being a little creative.)
Step 3: Once you've completed your organizer, start writing out your "elevator pitch." There may be some work time in class tomorrow, but not likely to get the entire class period.
Step 4: Rehearse / time your presentation to make sure it's about a minute long.
