Here's the slide recapping this week's work at home:
Here's a link to Week 3's class slides. Looking through this, I'm assuming that you always know to review the slides each week and that you should do so. This is the case whether I remind you or not.
This week, be sure to complete the work on slide #6.

| Original Text of Booker T. Washington's Atlanta Compromise Address |
Hello,
In an effort to keep life and work simple, here are the slides that recap the work for this week:
 |
| Fannie Smith Washington 1858-1884 first wife of Booker T. Washington married 1882-1884 |
 |
| Olivia Davidson Washington 1854-1889 second wife of Booker T. Washington married 1885-1889 |
 |
| Margaret Murray Washington 1865-1925 third wife of Booker T. Washington married 1893 |
Okay....I am admittedly burned out from all the little windows within windows and boxes within boxes that I've been clicking over at Google Classroom. Too many windows. Too much clicking.
It would make me super happy to use Google Classroom less this semester, and I like the thought of getting back to this blog. It feels less fragmented to me. So, humor me as I try posting the work here again. I'll ask for your feedback in a few weeks---thanks for being flexible.
Three things to do this week:
 |
| Booker Taliaferro Washington 1856-1915 |
Read the short preface and the first six chapters of Booker T. Washington's Up from Slavery. Be sure you know the answers to the questions we talked about on Week 1 Class Slides #19 and #20.
We'll be talking about these chapters in groups next week and if you don't finish reading, you may not participate in your group, so be sure to read. (You will eventually receive a participation grade from your group and from me for your group work, so this would negatively impact your grade.)
While reading this book, you need to find at least five quotes or passages to add to your quotebook, so keep an eye out for interesting passages. I'll ask you each week to see what you've found. If you don't find any remarkable quotes, you are not thinking enough or reading carefully.
View Episode One, The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross
Make a document and title it: Many Rivers to Cross. Each time you watch a video, you should write an approximately 250 word synopsis of what you found most important or interesting in that episode.
Practice proper grammar. Be sure to be specific and include information that demonstrates understanding of the scope of each episode.
Print a copy of each synopsis and keep them together in your class notebook. Be sure to have it for class because you'll need it to participate in groups too.
Local Person Project
 |
| Tempie Avery, Asheville midwife Learn more about her here. |
Remember, you can contact Mrs. Cutshall if you get stuck/need help finding sources: Katherine.Cutshall@buncombecounty.org
You may change the local person you are researching if you need to, but please let me know if you do. But, don't give up too soon! There are often gems to be found if you try, and one of our goals is to build research skills.
Begin a Google Slides Digital Scrapbook to collect your primary source findings. Paste in pictures or snapshots of documents, etc. Be sure to include the information I asked you to in the Week 1 Class Slides. Look for a diversity of sources.
We are going to try a NEW way to share some documents to avoid "ownership" issues. Go to this document and paste a sharing link to your Digital Scrapbook. When you go to copy the link, be sure to change permissions so that I can comment.
That's it for this week. Slowly we'll get back to speed. Any questions--feel free to email me.
Happy First Week of the New Year---only 73 days until the first day of spring. ; )

Hello,
As usual, check Google Classroom. I'm guessing it may supplant this blog at some point.
All of the work is now up for the week. I might ask a question early next week, but nothing else. I'm trying out two new platforms this week---Pear Deck and Kami. Pear Deck should simplify our lessons on Google Slides, and we'll use Kami to annotate and respond on documents electronically. You'll definitely need to download Kami at the Google Chrome store and probably create an account with them. More new! ; ) But ultimately, they will help things run more smoothly.
You don't have to continue logging your schoolwork hours unless you want to, but please keep track of the time you spend on my work this week. I'm trying to keep it at about 4-5 solid hours a week.
Feel free to touch base if you have any trouble or questions. I look forward to seeing what you learn about Native Americans on your own.

Yay---almost everyone has joined Google classroom! It was great to see and meet everyone yesterday--hope it was encouraging to you too. As a reminder, you'll see the work for this week at Google Classrooms under the topic "Preparing for Week 1--August 12th-18th. I have a few things I may add, so keep an eye on it. I will add the three photos assignment to that topic as well, so be sure to follow through on that for next week if you haven't already. See you next Wednesday!
