It was great to see some of your video posts to our Flipgrid over the past few days!
In case you don't know what I'm talking about, I set up a Flipgrid (it's a video discussion board) for our class and I tested it out over the past few days.
So, what is the plan for us? Good question!
As you know, none of the work over these three days will be collected or will count toward your grade. This also means the calendar we were using up to this point is no longer valid. When we return to "classes" on March 31st, we'll figure everything out.
One thing you can do over the next few days is to make sure you have completed 15 Multi-Genre responses, and you have them all in one place. If there are some of them you want to re-do or add to, that would be great! Also, make sure you have your copy of the book. In case you were not able to get your copy from school for whatever reason, there are many versions of the book online. The page numbers will be off, but the text is the same.
The other thing I'd like to do is to keep our community going. Hopefully, by this point in the year, you realize that is an important part of our class - it's not just about academics in the traditional sense. We've played games together, worked in groups together, and gotten to know each other. I think it is meaningful and important to keep that going!
So, I'll be adding a new topic to the Flipgrid and asking you to post a short video response. We will be using this tool when we return to school, so it will also be helpful to try it out and get used to it now. If you haven't tried it out yet, it's pretty easy. Just go here: flipgrid.com/riglerfreshman and use the code "riglerfreshman"
- The question for today is: With all of the information you've seen about COVID-19 and all of the videos of people dealing with it and all of the things different people have said, what has been the most powerful for you? Or, what has brought a smile to your face? Or what has been the most challenging? If you want, you can even add a link to it in your response!
In the meantime, stay safe and wash your hands! Miss you!
