Hello, everyone!

So, I finally decided I should get my ear checked again, PLUS. . . my sister's baby is ON THE WAY! So, I need to make sure it's safe to see him when he arrives!

Here's what you'll need to be successful in class today:
 * chrome book
 * headphones
 * assignment book
 * pencil
 * pink OMG packet
 * quia login and password

Step 1: Watch this video to copy down the homework for today/this weekend. If the video doesn't work, you can also go over to my homework page to get the information.

Step 2: Turn in your pink OMG packet to the myth "Headache of the Century" (yes, I know, I'm skipping ahead a bit for some of you. . . it's fine. Now, watch the Dael Kingsmill video here to get the story! Feel free to pause to take notes if you like, or read a slightly different version by popping over to my mythology page and reading the story in the PDF of the packet there.

Step 3: Now drop down to the article "May the Best Gift Win. . ." Watch the Dael Kingsmill video here to get the story! Feel free to pause to take notes if you like, or read a slightly different version by popping over to my mythology page and reading the story in the PDF of the packet there. (Note: I am most interested in that you know about Athens. . . the rest is interesting, but won't be on the test)

Step 4: Great! You've learned some new mythology. Now let's see how you've been doing with __The Lightning Thief__ reading by having you complete a little activity on quia. Use this link and you'll go directly to the sign in for the activity. Yes, you may use your Camp Journal, and yes, it will really count in home access. You get two tries, and the highest score will be counted.

Step 5: If you've gotten to this point and you still have time in class, please do one of the following: Please don't waste the time you've been given!
 * Go ahead and read/do the questions for the next batch of Lightning Thief chapters
 * Take an ARP tests (I know some of you have finished the book already - take advantage of this time to get the test done!)
 * Work on Vocab Unit 12 bookwork
 * Work on your Getting to the Root of It packet
