It outlines the following key tasks: 1) read the syllabus and calendar, view an introductory PowerPoint, and post a biographical paper; 2) respond to classmates' biographies and watch assigned videos by midnight Sunday; and 3) begin thinking about a content area focus such as reading, math, or social studies.
