Today's task in the library/ WIGL

Welcome to CWP. Today you will have some tasks to complete before the end of the day so please make sure that you use your time wisely!

  1. Respond to this post by putting your name, period, a destination that you'd like to go and a destination that you've been that you love. (Make sure that you know how to get here in the future)
  2. Go to www.turnitin.com, make sure that you have added this class. If you have an account this process will be easier. If you don't have an account follow the steps for creating an account and make sure to remember your information for later use. (Write down in your Journal). Once there and you have completed the steps for adding my class. Go to the "discussion' tab. View the prompt. FOLLOW the directions (When responding to a student post please make sure to give thoughtful details and also your name at the end of the comment). Once you have completed that please move to the next step. *Hint opening up multiple tabs may help you in this process.Class id:                                               1st Period: 6906329                                     Password: reed                                                                                            5th  Period: 6906333                           Password: reed                                                                   6th Period: 6906336                        Password: reed                                                                      7th Period: 6906339                                    Password: reed
  3. Create a Google Drive account. We will be using Google Drive for many class projects and assignments. You don’t have to have a Gmail account to access this, but it is easier to use with a Gmail account. You can also create a Google account using another email. After you have created your Google Drive account, create a new document and write one paragraph about the following question: “What is the purpose of government? Do we really need it?” After you have written your paragraph, click the blue “share” button in the top right corner and share it with me (jim.reed@washougalsd.org). This is due at the conclusion of class .
  4. If you finish early please review your notes for tomorrow's quiz. Please feel free to use the uploaded PowerPoints to review as well. You should also know details from the major current events over the past week and a half.  Also, you could use your time to do you current events that are due on Friday!

Welcome to your first day of CWP.  I will be using this blog to keep students and parents updated with what is happening in this class. I will be posting daily lessons, including PowerPoints from class discussions, as well as documents and assignments.

The calendar (scroll down) shows daily class topics, due dates, quiz and test dates, and daily reading assignments. Today we handed out the course description and watched a video of inspiration.

Let me know if you have any questions. Students and parents can always email me!
Thanks, and I am looking forward to examining the American systems of government and politics!

Mr. Reed
