Tests! The first test was given on Thursday and I have graded all of 1st period and 2nd period and will get all of 4th and 5th period graded Monday and possibly Tuesday (I learned early on to not bring work home if I didn't want to stay married). We will take the Edgenuity test on India and will begin notes on China not long after those students who are out return.
So as many of you know, MMS had to take precautions to protect students from a possible COVID-19 exposure. That mean's that any students who were exposed must quarantine for 14 days. My classes were hit especially hard (19 students across all classes). The students who were sent home will be working in Edgenuity and since I do not want my classes to be thrown off course drastically, I've made the decision to have all of my EP classes work in Edgenuity for this week. Since I have just given a test and we had not started the next unit, there is a great opportunity to do this. The students will be working on the section labeled as "Early India". This is a topic that I am normally not able to cover in as much depth as I would like and this solution also keeps all of the students working on the same topic so that there is no imbalance when those 19 students return to the classroom.

Welcome to World History! We cover everything from the beginning of human history all the way up to 1500CE. We've already been through our first week in which we introduced ourselves to each other and that process will continue as students are coming in and out of our virtual program. We have already discussed how the process of how historical data collection works as well as talking about early man and how civilizations begin to form around this idea of kingship. This week we are going to delve into that a little more as well as go into our first civilizations such as Mesopotamia and Egypt. The plan for right now is for us to have our first test next week, but plans can change and I am exploring all options right now as this crazy world we all live in seems to also be considering all options.
