WELCOME TO WEEKS 7 AND 8 OF OUR
AVID ONLINE LEARNING EXPERIENCES!
AVID Online Assignment #4
For the Weeks May 4 – 15: COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING 3 PARTS and submit via a Google Doc or Google Slide Show.
The next two weeks will allow us to reflect on our accomplishments this year. The AVID Student agreements are printed on the attachment and there are 10 questions I would like for you to think about and answer in COMPLETE SENTENCES.
Please take the time to reflect and answer honestly. The second part of the assignment will be to create an AVID T-shirt design. Think about what parts of the AVID have been important to you and how you might be able to reflect that on a shirt. Please don't replicate something from the internet. Be original!! Be creative!!
Type or write your answers to the questions and post them in the Google Classroom as you have done over the past several weeks. Take a picture of your T-shirt design (or design the shirt using electronic means) and post it in the classroom as well. BE SURE TO ATTACH/ADD THEM FIRST, AND THEN CLICK TURN IN when you're ready! AGAIN, have fun! :) If you have questions about any of this, post your questions, email me or send me a Remind 101 text and I will be checking in periodically each day to help you out! Keep up the great work! Can't believe we are getting close to the end of the year. Thank you to all of you who are continuing to put your best efforts forward.
