    Revisit: week 1 lessons:  

           1. Memorized  1 to 10 element of the periodic table. Done.  Mon.

            2.  from 11 to 18. HW. Tues. 

           3. . How learning happens - Hook, use known words to remember, revisit 9 times.   

          Due Tues: HW: describe the evolution of the learning brain. Why is it difficult to learn new things? 

            3. Create a learning template - build on it. Tues..


    Success criteria: Week 2
    1. Assessment on Timeline, management plan - meaning staying on task with classwork, HW, assignment, groupwork.
