Welcome!
Welcome [back] to high school!
We are going to try doing things in a slightly different way for high school. Each of you will have your assignments, by week, on this website. Any extra articles or goodies (maps, interviews, audio files, etc) needed to complete your assignments will be linked in the assignment. Here's hoping this keeps all three of us moving forward in as organized a way as possible. If you find any broken links or anything that I have forgotten to link to, please let me know.
In addition to the assignments, you will each have your own narration file on Google Docs. It will be ONE file and in it you will narrate anything that I have assigned, in order. This way, we can work on spelling, typing, becoming familiar with the computer, AND staying on top of your work, and I can work on staying on top of you and your assignments without having to wonder if either of us is forgetting anything.
Finally, this is high school. There will be more work and it will take more time. You will be doing 34-36 weeks worth of work, instead of the 32-33 everyone else will have. That's just how life is. Trust me when I tell you it will be better for all of us in the long run to spread things out just a bit more than to try cramming it all in and making ourselves miserable just to save a couple of weeks of work.
Let's all try our best to have some fun with it, and if we can't manage that, at least let's try to get it done in a timely manner and not hate it. :)
