Real quick I forgot to mention. If you need your notes/intro to help write your paper, please email and I will scan it and send it to you. A few people have asked about that. Thanks!
Similarly if you want to turn in any alternative project stuff, please do! Just take pictures and email them in.

Back after spring break
Alright, if anybody is following this a couple things. kleduc@riversideunified.org is the email to direct any questions.
1. If you haven't taken the SAQ yet it has now been posted to google classroom to take. Please do that this week.
2. If you have any other things that you need clarification on or you are trying to turn something in late(that is a notebook, your individual king high remembers work, or something you had an excused absence for) I want to get that figured out and complete by the end of this week. That way we will all be in the same place once we start this remote learning thing. Please let me know ASAP or email me if this applies to you.
3. You can only raise your grade during the time from now until end of the remote learning. So while I dont know how much or what lessons will look like yet, I can't require anyone to turn in their KHR paper. However for the kindness of the vets and capturing your paper for history's sake we would still like you to do it. It may be one of the "assignments" so it will at least count for something. But we can not require it.
Thanks!

Updates!!
So the new update is that school will start again on the 13th. It does seem it is not normal school by any means but what they can do. Apparently your grade can only go up from where it currently is. It can not go down. Next week we will know more. The week after that if you have some sort of makeup work that you didn't get to do(like the quiz) we will target that for the week of the 6th. If you just didn't do work then you still can not make it up. Starting the 13th you will be able to try to raise your grade though(you can't lower it). I have zero clue what that will look like but most likely there will be an assignment/lesson a day. or a 2 hour lesson for the week. There will be about 30 school days left(if we dont go back). Let me know if there are any emergency/virus/family situations if something does emerge so that it doesn't hurt your chance to raise grades each day. Hope everyone is doing well, thanks!

3/5-Coronavirus break
3/5-This was the last day to get ready for King High Remembers, everything was finished up hopefully, and we went over everything for the next day.
3/6-King High Remembers!
3/9-We wrote thank you cards to our vets, students also met with their partner and just went over their notes as well as how they think they should structure their papers.
3/10-We went back to wear we left off many days ago on the topic of the Red Scare. We finished looking at it with a brief lecture, as well as a video clip on how the House Un American Activities Committee began investigating lives within Hollywood and the idea of Blacklisting began.
3/11-We went from the fear of the Cold War at Communism to the Fear of War. We looked quickly at the build up of arms between America and the Soviet Union, as well as America's fear of Cuba as it took steps to align itself with the Soviets. This led to JFK's massive embarrassment at the Bay of Pigs.
3/12-Students were looking at the Cuban Missile Crisis, we looked at it from each leaders perspective and tried to briefly discuss the idea of how even if no leader wanted a nuclear war, it could happen none the less. The video attached is the Be Kennedy, we also looked at Be Castro, Be Kruschev and the intro video.
3/13-We finished the Cuban Missile Crisis and saw how they arranged a deal to trade missiles for missiles. We began our DBQ on the Race to Space. How it politically, socially and economically reflected aspects of the Cold War. We read through the background essay and watched a couple of video clips to help us see parts of the race over 12 years.
Break: At the current time there is not much we can do. Some classes(like elementary schools, or an AP class with their AP tests coming up, are getting work so they do not regress). Until we can assign work that can be used for grades and assessments we are in limbo. If you would like to work on your DBQ or your King High Remembers Paper you should. If I can find a way to return every students notes I will do that, but as of now it is not really possible. It appears we will know the last week of March and how we will be doing class from here on out. If you have any questions please email at kleduc@riversideunified.org
