Mrs. Davis' Homework and Website Notes

This pdf is the note-taking page the students use while watching the video on the above link. Since it's locked in our Ladue Google Accounts, a pdf version is here for your reference.

To upload this pdf, I chose "PDF" from the "insert" menu on the right. Then, I followed the directions to find the file I wanted to upload. It was super easy! (Of course, you must save your file as a "pdf" format first.)
