Hello, Everyone!
I have attached the weekly Skyward Correspondence here in case you haven't seen it yet. I hope the first week went well and I appreciate all your hard work, patience, and communication. This week is going to look very similar as the first, but with a few changes. First, you can find the Calendar for the week HERE. I have chosen to not embed the documents as many people were having difficulty accessing them. Instead, the calendar will house the schedule for the week with topics and due dates. I will post the materials you will need below with the corresponding day. There will, however, be supplemental resources found in the calendar that you should be able to access directly within the calendar. *Please use this document Colonization of Africa Worksheet for your notes and for the activities found within this week's PowerPoints.* Download the document to your computer and "Enable Editing" then save it to your documents. Monday Read "Scramble for Africa" Start notes on the Berlin Conference Tuesday Finish notes on Berlin Conference Start notes on White Man's Burden
Wednesday White Man's Burden OPCVL
Thursday Read Both documents below The Congo The Herero Friday--> will be a Flex Day where you can use that time to finish up whatever you didn't finish earlier in the week. There will be no new content for this day, instead it will serve as a work day. In doing this, I hope that it will give you ample time to complete the work for the week without feeling too rushed or stresses.
