    Southern Company Town Hall Webcast – Thursday, April 16, 2020 Rough Transcript Operator: Welcome to the Southern Company town hall webcast on April 16th, 2020. Throughout today's recorded presentation, all participants will be in a listen only mode. After the presentation, there will be an opportunity to ask questions. If you would like to ask a question via the web interface, simply type your question in the ask a question box and click send. If any participant has difficulty hearing the presentation, please submit your question via the same tool. I will now hand the presentation over to Tom Fanning, chairman, president, and CEO of Southern Company. Please go ahead, sir. Tom Fanning: Welcome, everybody, to this virtual town hall. I think in times like this, I love that phrase, communicate relentlessly. I don't think there's more we can do than keeping each other informed. And I think through the thought leadership of folks like Chris Womack and others, we decided this format may prove to be beneficial to us all. And to those of you who have not been on a call like this, this is going to feel like something we do about every two weeks. In fact, during the coronavirus, we've been doing it for a while every day, and then maybe three times a week. Now we're doing it about twice a week. This will feel like a Southern Company Management Council call with a little bit of an expanded universe. I know we have people all over the system listening, so let me just fill you in, roughly, on who's on the Southern Company Management Council.

Behind him was a dizzying array of earth-moving equipment, and he and two Coosa High classmates, Eric Vargas and Israel Domingo, had !sat in the driver’s seat and operated each one. “I’m speechless,” said a wide-eyed Tapia, an 11th-grader who was attending his first CEFGA CareerExpo and SkillsUSA State Championships. “I thought it would be something where you could look at a lot of things, but there are a lot of opportunities where you can actually work the equipment and really have a hands-on experience.

In some cases, information provided in this document goes beyond the scope of the standards and can be used for background and enrichment information. Please remember that the goal of social studies is not to have students memorize laundry lists of facts, but rather to help them understand the world around them so they can analyze issues, solve problems, think critically, and become informed citizens. Children’s Literature: A list of book titles aligned to the 6th-12th Grade Social Studies GSE may be found at the Georgia Council for the Social Studies website: https://www.gcss.net/site/page/view/childrens-literature The glossary is a guide for teachers and not an expectation of terms to be memorized by students.

TEACHER NOTES GEORGIA STUDIES Historic Understandings SS8H1 Evaluate the impact of European exploration and settlement on American Indians in Georgia. People inhabited Georgia long before its official “founding” on February 12, 1733. The land that became our state was occupied by several different groups for over 12,000 years. The intent of this standard is for students to recognize the long-standing occupation of the region that became Georgia by American Indians and the ways in which their culture was impacted as the Europeans sought control of the region.
