IMPORTANT!!!!!

EFFECTIVE TODAY ALL UPDATES, ASSIGNMENTS, ASSESSMENTS WILL BE THROUGH GOOGLE CLASSROOM.  I WILL UPDATE IT DAILY AND GRADE ALL SUBMITTED WORK ACCORDINGLY.  ALL GRADES WILL CONTINUE TO BE UPDATED ON PUPILPATH.

IF YOU STILL HAVE NOT JOINED YOUR SPECIFIC GOOGLE CLASS...WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?  LET'S GET IT DONE.

YES, WE ARE IN UNCHARTED WATERS BUT WE CAN DO IT!

YOU ARE ALL "CIAMPIONS"!!!!

Please read:

All,

By now, you all know that schools will be closed until at at least April 20.  The teachers have meetings with administration and city officials Tuesday-Thursday this week to discuss and plan remote learning strategies.  So...for now....

1. Please follow the WWII schedule.  Do the readings, take the notes, etc...just like you have all year. Use the review book too! 
2. Complete the written assignments as assigned.  For now, type the answers on word and save them.  After I find out more info after out meetings, I'll let you know how to send the work.
3. Stay positive and stay focused.  This is unprecedented territory for all of us.
4. If you have not, please go to previous post and join google classroom.  My guess is this how we will be conducting the class moving forward.

 I will miss seeing you all in class. Hopefully, we will be back in the classroom soon.

"The only thing we have to fear.....is fear itself"- FDR, March 4, 1933

Google Classroom

Even though this blog and pupilpath have been our main communication devices, Ms. Cohen wants ALL classes set up on Google Classroom.  Please log onto your Madison Google accounts and join your specific class using the codes below:

HW Assignment due tomorrow 2/28....

• "Coney Island was a kind of magazine of life, except instead of reading about it and seeing color pictures, you could experience it.”- historian Elliot Willensky

• Charles Denson, director of the Coney Island History Project spoke of the historic role that Coney Island has played in welcoming immigrants: “When immigrants sailed into New York Harbor at the turn of the last century, the first thing they saw wasn’t the Statue of Liberty; it was the towers and bright lights of Coney Island… Twenty million immigrants came through New York between 1880 and 1920. Immigrants fleeing persecution and seeking freedom didn’t find it right away. Instead they found life in stifling tenements, and backbreaking labor. Most worked long hours, six days a week. Coney Island became their escape. At Coney Island they found fresh air and affordable recreation. Coney Island became the pressure valve for New York City.”

•Using evidence from the film, prove the validity of both statements.  Answer must be presented in paragraph form.
