DO NOW
  • Daily Check-in
  • Retrieval Practice: McCarthyism
    • Reminder! DO NOWs and Retrieval practice will start being graded based on having a valid attempt (not a percentage grade) completed by the time class starts (10:15 for period 2 and 12:45 for period 3) Late practice won't be accepted for credit because I go over the answers, which kind of ruins the point of YOUR brain remembering these things but I still encourage you to use it as a study tool.
​Objectives
