Today, all classes will be learning some background information about "The Odyssey" before we begin reading it together next week.  You will be completing a Nearpod with guided notes. This Nearpod involves listening to a teacher present the information, so headphones will be necessary. If you do not have a computer, please pair up with someone directly next to you to complete this activity.

This lesson should take you all of the class period. If you do not complete it during class, it is your responsibility to finish it at home tonight for homework. Your notes will be due at the start of class tomorrow.

Please remember...
NO ONE SHOULD BE LISTENING TO MUSIC, PLAYING GAMES, SLEEPING, WATCHING VIDEOS, DOING WORK FOR ANOTHER CLASS, OR ANYTHING ELSE. YOU SHOULD ONLY BE COMPLETING THE ASSIGNMENT AS DESCRIBED IN YOUR CLASS TAB. IF THE SUB CATCHES YOU DOING ANYTHING ELSE, YOU WILL RECEIVE A REFERRAL FOR REFUSAL TO WORK. NO EXCEPTIONS.

To access the Nearpod, please click this link. If you are prompted for a code, it is HNTGL.

Happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend!

If you haven't already done so, read the Sunday Announcements post I put up yesterday; it explains exactly how to upload assignments to Google Classroom. You can also find this information in the tab at the top of the blog.

Today we are going to be starting our Greek Mythology unit. This unit will take us all the way to Fall Break next month, and will cover information that will be on your Benchmark test this grading period. 

Please check your individual tabs for today's instructions.

Sunday Announcements - How to Upload to Google Classroom

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.  As I've been doing grading this weekend, I've come across a lot of you who have submitted empty assignments to Google Classroom; you've submitted the assignment, but it's blank and none of your answers are there. Instead of taking a 0 for this, I'm guessing it was a technology glitch and just marking it as missing. You'll need to fix it and resubmit it with a late slip before the 2-week late window for that assignment closes.

Please remember that it is YOUR responsibility to double (or triple!) check that you have attached and submitted the correct version of the assignment on Google Classroom.  To help, here is a step-by-step guide for you to reference when you forget how to submit on Google Classroom:

STEP 1: Go into Google Classroom and click the "Classwork" tab at the top of the page

STEP 2: Locate the assignment and click "View Assignment"

STEP 3: Once the assignment is open, click "+Add or Create"

STEP 4: Decide where to find the assignment. If you completed in in Google Docs or you saved it to your Google Drive, click "Google Drive." If you completed it in Lumin or another program on your computer and downloaded it or saved it, click "File."

If you are looking in Google Drive, you'll need to browse through your Google Drive files and locate it there, then click "Add"

If you have it saved or downloaded to your computer, you'll need to click "Select files from your device," then locate them on your computer (if you've downloaded it from Lumin or another program, it automatically saves in your Downloads folder on your computer). Once you select the file and it's listed here, click "Upload."

STEP 5: Once you see the document listed under "Your Work," click on it and double/triple check that it's the correct one - whatever you see when you click on that is exactly what I will see when I go to grade it; if it's not the correct document or assignment, click the "X" and return to step 4 to locate the correct document. Once you are sure it's the correct document, click "Turn In."

STEP 6: It will ask you to verify you want to turn in your work. Double-check the document you've attached is listed, then click "Turn in" in the bottom corner.
