Good Morning Everyone,
I hope everyone had a wonderful “Spring Break” and is “excited” to be back on our digital learning schedule. In case you haven’t heard the county has sent out new requirements regarding grades and digital learning. I encourage everyone to check the school website for the complete details but I will try to simplify it for everyone. Essentially, digital learning cannot hurt your average from March 12th, it can only improve it, as long as students are actively participating and showing knowledge throughout the digital learning process. We have been told that if students are not actively participating, meaning they are not participating/doing assignments, or showing little effort we should recommend they not get credit for the course and be signed up for summer school. Please make sure you are participating and turning in your assignments so that this does not become an issue for any of you. With the graduation date being changed to May 1st we only have 3 weeks left, so my plan is to cover international economics this week, Personal Finance next week, and then we will have our final test that covers both International and Personal Finance on May 1st your last day. Because of our current situation, we will not be doing the GDP slideshow or the Term Project (I know you are disappointed). I am also working on making any tests you have missed available online so that you can take them before the May 1st cutoff. Here are your assignments for this week:
I hope everyone is doing well, I miss seeing all of you. Please be safe and if you have any questions please email me or text me via remind. Stay Safe, Mr. Crooks

Good Morning Everyone, I hope everyone had a wonderful “Spring Break” and is “excited” to be back on our digital learning schedule.

We have been told that if students are not actively participating, meaning they are not participating/doing assignments, or showing little effort we should recommend they not get credit for the course and be signed up for summer school. I do not believe I have anyone that falls into this category at this time but I wanted to let you all know about the change just in case. There has also been a change in our AP test, instead of a multiple choice section and free response section, students will only be assigned 2 free response questions. I have attached the official college board instructions to this email for everyone to see. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Here are the student assignments for this week:
This will be our last week of content starting next week we will start our review for the AP Exam. I hope everyone is safe and healthy. I miss you guys. Mr. Crooks Good Morning,

First please fill out our third google form. This is how I know that you have seen the assignments for this week and understand what is going on. Secondly, students will complete the WebQuest Corona virus and the Economy on Quia, this assignment is available now and must be completed by Friday. Lastly, students will take their Unit 6 Test this Friday via Quia. The test will unlock Friday morning and you will have plenty of time to complete the test. I will provide specific times that the test will be open by Wednesday of this week. ( I need to confirm the times with the other Economics teacher) Students should review the review videos on my website, the quizlets, and their notes Also if any student has any recovery tests, or make up tests to complete please email me directly with the tests you need to make up.

I hope everyone had a good weekend, I know it can be difficult given our current situation, but please try to have some fun when you can. The first thing due this week is our 3rd Google form, again this helps me confirm that you know what the assignments are for the week so please fill it out by tomorrow 3/31. The second assignment for this week is that students will be logging on to our online testing service and take a practice two question test to make sure they can access the program, I will provide instructions below on how to access the program and test. Finally, this week we will be taking our test over Industry and Manufacturing online. I will post instructions below on how students can access the test. The test opens at 12:00pm Friday and Closes at 3:00pm Friday. Students will not be able to submit their test after 3pm. To review for the test I have posted numerous videos under the Unit 6 tab on the website. There are a couple of quizlets and Kahoots as well. Also, if you go to the AP review section and download the study guide there is a whole section covering Industry and Manufacturing which should be very helpful. In the google form there is also a survey question asking if you want me to host a zoom meeting to help you review for the test, which I am happy to do.

Miss you guys, be safe Good Morning Everyone,
Yesterday I had a virtual department meeting and wanted to give everyone an update. It appears that students will no longer be taking the EOC this semester. So because of this a couple of things are going to change with digital learning. Since there is no EOC, we have longer to cover the material so I can spread out some of the information a bit more. To start, the Unit 6 Test is going to be pushed to next Friday. What I have done is created a 1 question quiz on Quia to just make sure that everyone can log in, so please do that “quiz” by this Friday, if you are having any problems logging in please email/text me so that we can get it fixed by next Friday and the test. The vocab for Unit 6 is still due this Friday, thank you to those that have already turned it in. I am also working on creating online make-up tests for people that need to make up or recover a test. A couple final things/reminders:
Mr. Crooks Good Afternoon Everyone,
I just got out of our department meeting and I wanted to share some of the updates to our course going forward. To start we will be finishing all of the Units in the course which is finishing Unit 6 this week and then starting and finishing unit 7. As we are working on these materials I will be providing review materials for all the content that will be covered on the AP Exam and on our Final Exam. As for the work this week the only thing I am adding to your workload is that you take the MYAP quiz on Changes and the World Economy Digital Learning by this Friday. To prepare for this I would please read chapter 12 in your textbooks and chapter 16 in your AMSCO books (these will help with the quiz). Because of this change you do not need to worry about completing Unit 1 of the grand review this week. Don't worry if you already did, it is still for a grade and will still be assigned. I am working on getting some more EdPuzzles/Videos/Quizlets/ for the rest of the content and to help us prepare for our exams. For those that our missing tests I will be creating assessments for you to take an alternate test. For those that need to do recovery for a previous test please email me and I will set up a recovery assignment for you as well. Thanks for being so flexible guys I really appreciate it. |
