Just like in class, Fridays will be a day for a quiz and maybe something fun that we missed during the week. If you took notes (like you should) during the week then this should be a breeze. If not, then feel free to look back at those lessons. This is open note.
However, if you leave this page, you will lose your place in the quiz. There is no time limit on the quiz, but once you submit it that will be the end, you can’t go back and immediately take it again. Understand that the score you are shown at the end is not necessarily the grade that will be in the grade book. If there are fill-in-the-blank questions then the computer will only mark it as correct if you have exactly the same answer as me.
After your quiz, take a few minutes to begin researching your topic for next week. You will be doing more research on Monday then we will begin with everyone presenting for 3-5 minutes on our Zoom calls for the remainder of the week. The assignments are below.
