Assignment

Good afternoon, scholars! I am attaching a link to a YouTube video. All that you need to do is watch it, pay attention to it, and think about the following questions. What can you say about the players? How do you know? Based on the coach's dialogue outside of the school and at Gettysburg cemetery, what can you tell about him? How do you know?            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bXDarXk-JI 
 
Once you finish watching the YouTube video, you can go over the PowerPoint I have attached.  Once you have finished going over the attached PowerPoint, then you will watch the movie Remember the Titans. This movie is found free online. If you cannot find it for free. then you can watch clips of it on YouTube and fill out the chart that I have attached and email it to me. You can download the attached sheet and type on it. If you cannot, then you can draw a nice chart, write on it clearly, and send it to me. 
 
Your final step is to complete the online worksheet. All that you need to click on this link:
That link will take you to an online quiz. Complete it, take a picture or a screenshot of your grade and send it to me. 
 
I will be hosting my first Zoom meeting this Wednesday. I will send an invitation to your emails, so please be on the lookout for that email and the time it will be hosted, most likely around 2:00. I will confirm this tomorrow. If you have any questions let me know!
