Learners may need lined writing paper, pencil/pen, and/or erasers for note taking. However, PPTs will be posted after class so taking notes is optional. Essays must be submitted as: .doc, .docx, .rtf., .txt, .pdf, or as a GoogleDoc. If none of these options are available, the essay can be typed and directly submitted in the chat box.
Parents, please make sure you’re checking the classroom and the teacher tab to ensure that your children are submitting their work. Work that isn’t submitted cannot receive feedback and work that isn’t turned in by the due dates will not receive feedback.
