10th World Lit - Monday, March 23, 2020

Good morning and happy Monday! Thank you to everyone who sent me updates or meme over the weekend - I really appreciated them! Today we're going to continue working on the project for the Research Mini-Unit.



Research Mini-Project Directions:

Assignment for Today:

1. Instructions for Day 1
2. Please Note: There are some changes to the Project Template that I discussed in today's video. The document linked is the latest and most up-to-date template.
3. Research Impact of COVID-19:
1. What has been the response of the United States government to COVID-19?
2. How is COVID-19 affecting people who live in the United States?
4. You must use 3 sources for BOTH questions today. Make sure you copy the links of ALL of the articles into your document.

Resources for Today's Questions:
When you click on the links below, it will bring you to a page with three articles: one from a right-leaning source, one from a centrist source, and one from a left-leaning source. You will read ALL three of these articles and check them against each other to gather your information for the questions today.

What's Due Today?
