For class... We will start class online using Zoom for attendance, check-in, etc.  Join the Zoom Meeting. You can find the link and code to join posted on Schoology. There will be about 15 minutes Zoom meeting at the start (including a Kahoot Quiz), then a couple of tasks you'll complete for approx. 30 minutes of on your own (watch a 19-minute TEDEd video and answer some questions, read an article), then we'll all join back in the last 10 minutes with a short Zoom discussion about the video and article.  In total, it will be approx. 1 hour of class time.

Class Tasks (complete on your own):

  • "A Fascinating Color-Coded Map of Africa's Diversity" (Article, Mic)

2. Watch the following TED video: "The Danger of a Single Story"

  • Please respond to the questions as they appear.
  • You will receive a completion grade (in Power School) for answering the questions embedded within the video.  There are 10 questions (worth 10 points each).
  • You will be discussing these questions at the close of today's lesson during the "Exit" Zoom Meeting Discussion.
