Check out a computer. Log in and go to my website. Got to ccusd93 Check out a computer. Log in and go to my website. Got to ccusd93.org to “Select a School” to “Cactus Shadows” to “Our Staff” to Burke, Lorraine. Find the page for “Digital Learning” and find the correct level (Level E for Honors, Level D for Regular English 9)

Vocabulary Practice Click on the link for Unit 1 Memrise. Go to “Sign up” and “Log in with Google.” You will only need to do that once. When it asks you what language you want to learn, just X out of that Tab. Go back to my website link and choose the link and it will take you directly there. The vocabulary words for Regular English are split up into two sections so you can concentrate on the first ten words and then when you have those down, you can move on to the next Memrise practice for Unit 1. When you have earned 1,000 points, you may move on to practicing with the Quizlet Quizzes.

CommonLit articles Go to Google Classroom to the assignments. Make sure you have submitted the responses to “Want to Get into College?” If you have had trouble getting in to the program, it is probably because you used the wrong gmail to register. You must always use your ID#@ccusd93.net. Example: 12345@ccusd93.net You can re-register and work on that first. Next, work on reading “Nice Kids Finish First” answering the Guiding Questions and Assessment Questions. We will do the discussion questions in class later.
