How this class works 🐝

Watch the quick guide, then follow these steps. Every lesson works the same way. Once you've got the rhythm, you always know what to do and where to look.

Every lesson, in five steps

1Start on your class page
Class page
Open today's lesson. Read Today's target and the Big idea, see what's Due today, and follow the day's Steps: a debate, background, a lab, or analysis.
2Do the curricular work in PLTW
myPLTW
Go into myPLTW through Clever and do the day's activity there. This is where the project work gets done. Doing it here is not the same as turning it in.
3Finish what's due
Class page
Complete the day's artifact: an exit ticket, a CER, a data table, or your tracker. Your class page tells you exactly what that is.
4Use the route shown
The one route named on the day page
Use the one route named under Submit here on the day page. A digital upload goes to the district OneDrive. A physical handoff is confirmed by Mr. Mendoza. Your report-card grade appears in Schoology later. You never turn work in through Schoology.
5Stuck or absent? You're covered
Class page
Every lesson has a self-help Explainer if you're confused and a make-up plan if you missed class: so nobody falls behind.

It all adds up: each lesson's evidence and your tracker build toward your end-of-course WebXam, the Ohio end-of-course exam for this course.
