Learning Activities
1. Let's start by getting to know our vocabulary! Go to Google Classroom and find the Objective #1 Vocabulary Activity. Do that and turn it in, and be ready to discuss and defend your answers!
2. Once you've become familiar with the vocabulary, see if you can answer the I can statements. In a separate Google Doc, create a two-column note table. Put the I can statements for this unit in the left-hand column, and put the answers to the I can statements in the right-hand column. When you're finished, share with a partner what your answers were. Then, check your answers with the ones Mrs. E will post here later and adjust yours - DON'T COPY.
