Parent/Student Update and Assignments: Week of May 4, 2020

We held a live class meeting on Thursday, April 30, at noon, and it was so fun to see and hear from you! I genuinely miss your faces and your energy. If you were unable to attend the meeting, you can still get all the information we discussed by watching the video of the meeting in Teams. I did have a technical issue, and somehow muted myself, so there is a period of time where the audio drops out. Skip forward, and you'll hear us talking after that part.

What I was trying to explain when the audio dropped out was this:

• Nick was NOT engaged
• He was dating a girl back home (remember, he's from the midwest), and somehow news of their engagement got published in the newspaper. We don't know how this happened, but Nick says that he was not going to let RUMORS of him being engaged actually pressure him to be engaged. This will come up later, so it's important you understand that he is NOT an engaged man.

For the week of May 4, here is your work:

1. Complete the apartment scene assignment in Actively Learn.
2. Attend a live class meeting on Monday, May 4, at noon. We will read and discuss chapter 2 together. To join the meeting, go to TEAMS for ILS at noon, wait for me to start the meeting, then click join. IF YOU DID NOT ATTEND THE CLASS MEETING, PLEASE COMPLETE THE ALTERNATE ASSIGNMENT IN TEAMS.
3. Answer the questions in Actively Learn about chapter 2 (American Lit assignment).
4. Complete this weekly check in assignment AFTER Monday's class meeting but before Wednesday.
5. Attend a live class meeting on Thursday, May 7, at noon, to read and discuss chapter 3. To join the meeting, go to TEAMS for ILS at noon, wait for me to start the meeting, then click join.
