PLEASE HAVE ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS UPLOADED AND READY TO BE WATCHED, OR A LINK IN THE DOC, FOR BOTH CLASSES BY 6am ON THURDAY MORNING. THANKS!
HERE'S HOW ONLINE CLASS WILL GO THIS WEEK (APRIL 2):
- Please upload your presentation video to the YouTube channel or link it in the doc by 6AM Thursday morning. If it's a prezi or power-point or slideshow, paste the link in the doc. So on the doc, here's what I want to see:
- Afton (prezi link...)
- Kensi (my video in on the Youtube channel. It's called Kensi 2020)
- Jayson (View my slideshow here.....)
- You can also upload a video of you doing the dance you learned if you want to. You know we all want to see it!
- Start watching the doc and watch the presentations as they pop up. Then you can get up Thursday morning and watch all of the rest of the videos/presentations for apprentice. (You won't have time to watch them all Thurs. morning, so start watching them before that.) Take notes and write down comments and questions you may have about people's presentations.
- WE WILL MEET AT 10AM via Zoom (Meeting ID: 850-083-0705 , Link: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/8500830705) to discuss the presentations. This is where you will ask your questions and make comments on what you watched in the morning. This will only be for 40 minutes.
- Journeyman: These videos are for your viewing pleasure. Please take the time to watch them sometime on Thurs. or Friday. We won't be meeting for Journeyman. Enjoy your new found knowledge of South America. Your welcome. ;)
- DON'T FORGET to be reading "The Chosen" by Chaim Potok (This is one of my very favorite books. It was super life changing for me.) for our book discussion next week (Apr. 9)
Study/Learn
Complete all of the following:
1. Read A History of US, volume 10, chapters 46-52. Write a paragraph or two for each of the chapters, summarizing what you read. Be creative and artistic. Include any applicable pictures and maps.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO A HISTORY OF US: You can watch these videos. They give a BRIEF overview, so choose a few things to look more deeply into. The second video is just a lot of headlines and not a lot of info. (Disclaimer: I can't control mainstream liberal media and this is as neutral as I could find.)
2. Study the note cards for this month (and for the whole year) from the Dictionary of Cultural Literacy
PRINT AND DO THIS CROSSWORD.

Know/Understand
Choose 1 person or event from your reading OR FROM YOUR FAMILY HISTORY to give us a 2-3 minute report on in class. Please include 3 bullet points about why we need to know about this and the impact it/they made on this time period. Also look for whether or not this person lived our principle for the month, "Synergize." How did this affect their lives? Put your choice on the doc so we don't overlap.
THEN RECORD YOURSELF DOING THE PRESENTATION AND PUT IT ON THE VANGUARD YOUTUBE PAGE. Since we're social distancing, this is how we're doing it now. You can also do a Prezi or PowerPoint presentations since we'll all just be watching them. If you do a prezi or PowerPoint, like it up to the google doc. If you do YouTube, upload it to our site, or link it in the google doc.
This is your time! You have been alive for most of the decades we are studying! Some day you will be telling your kids about his decade just like your parents and grandparents tell you about the decades they lived in. Your children and grandchildren will be every bit as in awe over COVID-19 as you are when they talk about the World Wars, Great Depression, and Hammer Pants!
Spend 20 minutes and journal about your life right now. What are you doing? What do you eat? Where do you live? What do you remember about the major world events that have happened during your life time? Use a lot of details.
