Friday's Social Work

Today you will be spending time on your own working across the web learning about Pearl Harbour through many different means. Work quickly because you will run out of time otherwise.

Open a new tab in this window by clicking above on file and hitting "New Tab".

1. Start by doing your quick questions for the day by going to my homepage and clicking on the quiz near the bottom of the page.

2. Once you finish the quiz go to my.calgaryacademy.com/tcarlson and download to your computer the file called Pacific found in the WWII section. Work your way through the powerpoint and make an Inspiration web that shows the main points of this powerpoint. Keep the powerpoint open for the next question.
