A few notes:
o
EverFi will give a timestamp of when things were
done, so be aware that we’ll know when you did each part of this assignment. If you do not complete elements of this
project on time, you can receive up to 50% credit at your teacher’s
discretion.
o
Please do not plan to share headphones with a
partner for this experience. It is meant
to be an individualized learning experience, and the website will tailor its
delivery of information based on your answers to questions.
o
There is an EverFi game that you can play if you
like, but you will not receive a grade for doing so. Please don’t get distracted by it and not
complete assignments on time!
o
Reading
Quiz for Chapters 10, 11, 14 will move to Wednesday 3/27. There is some information in the book that’s
not covered in the EverFi modules on things like the history of money and
history of banking – please make sure you read the book well and ask questions
if you have them!
o
Once you have completed the learning modules,
EverFi will allow me to print you a certificate showing that you have completed
this course. There are competitive
scholarships available for students who have EverFi certification – check them
out and apply! Free money is awesome!
