Unit 2: Introduction

 

Do NOT copy pages from Content Library into your own notebook if the title of the page has the word DRAFT. 

Update your tracking sheet. 

Seniors: Review “Balen’s  Reader’s Notes for answers to your questions. I recommend that you read other students’ questions and my responses, too. So many GREAT questions!!

Please see Content Library: Unit 1: Balen’s Model Media Chart. I want you to be aware of this model so that you can finish your media chart. Submit it to me once you are done. 

Finally, review my PRIVATE comments to you on your blog.
