How to do the homework on Google Slides (VA). Consider the following requirements:

1. Choose 2-3 contiguous slides, more or less. Claim them before others do.
2. Leave thoughtful and thorough annotations as comments which will be awarded with the following feedback (ST, OK, NW) based on your choices below:

• → Short textbook quotes which are explained in relation to the slide content (up to ST)

• → An original analysis of images or documents covered (or not covered) in class* (up to ST)

• → Comments as pure narration (up to OK) which is the min. req't for ALL students

Good luck next year with your coursework and the college selection process (if that's what you decide to do). Remember that the more choices you have, the more dissatisfied and paralyzed you will be, but that MAKING a choice is the most important way to end the agony. You WILL love what you choose, provided that you commit to that choice and don't look back.

I thoroughly enjoyed being your instructor and most importantly, I treasure the relationships we created. Now please enjoy your summer!
