You have made it! The last week of semester 1!
It is an interesting week bringing a close to a challenging semester. Therefore, as we are gearing up for a return to hybrid next week, I am letting you work at your own speed this week. I am sure there is a lot going on this week, with the semester end, so you have time to get things wrapped up.
Therefore, we will NOT have a live class meeting this week. Open the folder for this week on Tuesday, and work at your own speed this week. The two assignments are due by the end of the day on Friday.
If you need ANY HELP! I am available for one-on-one meetings all this week!

It is also Inauguration Week. We have been studying argument in conjunction with President Kennedy's 1961's Inaugural Address.
We have examined how these addresses function as an analysis of the country's situation and an argument as to the plan for the upcoming four years.
Therefore, for this week please complete the following:
1. Watch Michael Beschloss, American Historian, discuss what makes an effective inaugural address. (Schoology folder)
2. Open up and make two copies of the inaugural address rubric. (Schoology folder)
3. Assignment #1: select one of the linked addresses of inaugural addresses and complete the handout/rubric. (Due by Friday)
4. Assignment #2: using the second copy of the rubric document, watch the 2021 Inaugural Address. The Inauguration starts at 10:30 on Wednesday. The swearing-in at 11:00. The address follows. You may watch it live or a video later. Use the guiding questions and rubric to evaluate the argument that President-Elect Biden presents in his address. (Due by Friday)
Let me know if you have ANY questions or need ANY help!
