Hi everyone,
Today, we heard from Deputy Scott Haley, our Student Support Officer here at Westview, and also went through more introduction to the Executive Branch. Here's what happened today in class:
Learning Targets Addressed:
Knowledge LT 1: I can demonstrate an understanding of the interplay between citizens and their governments.
Knowledge LT 3: I can demonstrate an understanding of how individuals and non-governmental institutions interact with each other and the government in shaping politics.
Knowledge LT 5: I can demonstrate an understanding of the principles, structures, and functions of different levels of U.S. government.
Soundtrack: "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus. Selected for today because we are continuing to learn about American government! Lyrics here.
AGENDA 4/17/17:
Wildcat News Brief – Justin
Deputy Haley
CRLE Forms
Homework: Read the blog. Next news brief: Mary.
News Brief: Justin had the news brief today and selected this article to talk about in class: BBC.com - MOAB strike: 90 IS fighters killed in Afghanistan. We discussed this story (the dropping of the largest ever non-nuclear bomb) in Afghanistan and also the ongoing tension with what to do in terms of North Korea, as well.
We selected Mary to do the next news brief at the end of class.
We also watched Wildcat News in class (at the end of the period, due to wanting to respect Deputy Haley's time):
Deputy Haley: Much of the rest of class was devoted to Scott Haley, who is the officer here at Westview. Scott talked about his experience with being the Student Support Officer here this year. Hopefully, you enjoyed hearing him talk with the class, because I definitely did!
CRLE Forms: As a part of the guest speaker coming in, students filled out a Career Related Learning Experience form (I believe you need to have 4 of these completed as a graduation requirement). I did turn all of these into the counseling office for anyone that did it. I will try to have my mom come in near the end of the semester for a second opportunity, as well.

Review Legislative Test: We did not have time to get to this today, but your grades are in StudentVUE, and we will come back to this next class.
Thanks, everyone!
Thanks, everyone!
