Joining Google Classroom

This school year, I will periodically be using Google Classroom with you. In order to make this happen, I need you to sign up for your class. Here are the four simple steps to make it happen.

Step 1) Visit the class blog at: http://callumcorner.blogspot.com

Step 2) On the homepage of the blog on the right-hand-side, click on the link to Google Classroom.

Step 3) Using your Boston Public Schools (BPS) Google e-mail address, “Sign-Up” for Google Classroom. Your e-mail address will look something like this: xxxxx@bostonk12.org. If you don’t know your BPS e-mail, for now, you may use your current address.

Step 4) Once you sign up on Google Classroom. You will need to “Join” the class. Each class has a different code. Each code is case sensitive. The code is based on your Reading section number. Please look at the following list of codes and select the appropriate one:

Mrs. Callum’s Reading Class Section #s:	Google Classroom Code
Section 01	hui4rz
Section 05 - updated	2ixn25
Section 07	xqih45

Please complete this task by September 23rd!

Studying for the Bible and Its Influence Test...

Hi Hancock Students,

Hopefully, you are busy studying for Tuesday's upcoming test on The Bible and Its Influence. Just in case you are looking for online study buddies, as in a study group, Feven, along with students in her Reading section, have compiled an online study document to help. Here is the link that they have shared: Study Group Document for the Bible and Its Influence Test. Dina from a different class section has offered her study guide document for others to view, edit, and study. Here is the link to hers: Study Group Document 2 for the Bible and Its Influence. One suggestion is to take their work, along with your own, and make flashcards on quizlet.com. There is a link to that website on the homepage of the blog. You could then share your flashcards with other students, which would be helpful to you all!

Merry Studying!
