Even though we will not physically be at school, we are still able to engage in meaningful and relevant assignments through the use of VERGE and other online learning platforms. Your teachers, even your connections teachers, have created multiple online assignments for you in VERGE. VERGE is an app that you all should be familiar with and if you have a Chromebook, you should see a shortcut to the app at the bottom of your screen. If you cannot find the app, use the link below to get to the site: https://dekalb.itslearning.com/DashboardMenu.aspx?LocationType=Hierarchy You can also go through Launchpad or Clever to find it. To get into VERGE, you will use your school's username and password. Once in verge, use the instructions below to find your assignments. These instructions should work for all of your courses. If you cannot get into VERGE:For your other classes, I would advise reaching out to your teachers and letting them know that you do not have access to the site. You can do this by emailing them or using Remind, if they use that app for your class. For this class, all you need to do is go to the VIRTUAL LEARNING section on this website to see all the assignments. Scroll down to the bottom of the page once you are there, so that you can start with the first VLA. To find the section hover over "MORE" at the top of the screen and choose "Virtual Learning", it will be the last tab.

Kids, this comic is for you. It's based on a radio story that NPR education reporter Cory Turner did. He asked some experts what kids might want to know about the new coronavirus discovered in China. To make this comic, we've used his interviews with Tara Powell at the University of Illinois School of Social Work, Joy Osofsky at the LSU Health Sciences Center in New Orleans and Krystal Lewis at the National Institute of Mental Health. Malaka Gharib is an NPR editor and the author and illustrator of I Was Their American Dream: A Graphic Memoir, about being first-generation Filipino Egyptian American. For number 16, you will have two options for making an informational guide about the coronavirus. Read below to see your option and examples. Option 1:Example of Informational Guide for QW 51This is to help with number 16 for Quick Write 51. The rough draft will be done in your journal and your final draft will be typed using either google docs or google slides. Option 2:Creating a Zine! A zine, pronounced “zeen” (just like the end of the word magazine), is a homemade publication. This is an alternative to making the informational guide using google docs or google slides. It will require copy paper, scissors, and fairly good folding skills. If you would like to make a zine instead I will provide you with the paper and will play a "How- to" video to walk you through making the skeleton for the Zine. Use this guideline for filling in your Zine: Front cover- Title page (title, your name) Page 1- (inside)-Page 6 (inside) include the following information: *You are able to decide on the order* - Quick facts (must have a subheading for this section) -symptoms (must have a subheading for this section) - at least three illustrations or printed and glued pictures (one image MUST have a caption) -prevention tips (must have a subheading for this section) -information on getting help (must have a subheading for this section) Front cover- You can decide what you would like to go here How to video on making a zine: Guide for making a zine (written/ photo instructions) Zine version of the Just for Kids Comic:Page writing example:Notice how pages 4-1 will need to be filled out the opposite way as pages 5-6. This is important so that all of your pages are written and drawn on the right way.
