With a little over month left in our anticipated shutdown, the school has continued working hard to organize for you all to have work to help you progress forward with your educational journey. We hope you and your families are well. Here are a few updates:
New Renaissance COVID-19 Schoolwork Website Launched
This is the "home base" for all Renaissance work. As you see when you click 11th grade, it is basically just going to send you here for most core academics. See the link above for your work for the following classes:
- Latin (Holland)
- Art (Gilchrist)
- P.E. (LeTellier)
- ELA (Figueroa-Acevedo)
- Guidance Virtual Tour
- SAT Practice
- Math (Egbert)
It is possible I may migrate all work from the course blog over to that site to centralize things, I have just not had a chance to do so yet.

History!
- This week I finished reading John Lewis' MARCH book 1, which is an autobiographical graphic novel. It was amazing and I look forward to reading books 2 & 3. John Lewis was one of the most prominent members of SNCC (the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee) which was the most significant youth organization during the Civil Rights Movement. There is a site called SNCC digital, which is gives a variety of resources about the history of the organization.
- The Link: The Story of SNCC
- Over the course of this week, your assignment is to either 1) watch the lecture video at the link above, or 2) read through all sub-stories under "The Story of SNCC" (so from the Intro & "Winds of Change" through "Legacy")
- Once you've read this, please respond to the following questions
This week, teachers will also be meeting with one another pretty extensively with ZOOM, which may interrupt my daily videos. Once I figure out what exactly all of that looks like, I'll re-evaluate how frequently I'm posting video check-ins.
Also, teacher digital office hours and crew meetings will be starting up this week. For now, my digital office hours will be Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday 10am to 11am on REMIND. See previous post for class codes for signing up if you're not already there.
