The soundtrack for today was "Wonderwall" by Oasis, because because it reminded me of when the song played at London 2012 Summer Olympics, on August 12th. Not much time left in the year, especially for seniors!
Hi everyone,
Not much time left at all - only a week or so for our seniors! Today was the start of the last major assignment of the year! With that, here's the recap:
Learning Targets:
SS.HS.CR.ALT.03: I can apply understanding of ideas and concepts to a new context or problem.
SS.HS.RE.ALT.05: I can effectively conduct and apply research.
SS.HS.KN.ALT.01: I can demonstrate an understanding of the interplay between citizens and their governments.
SS.HS.KN.ALT.02: I can demonstrate an understanding of the role of governments in current issues.
SS.HS.CO.ALT.05: I can communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing.
Soundtrack: “Wonderwall" by Oasis. See photo caption above for reasoning. Lyrics here.
AGENDA 5/27/14:
News Brief
Review Test
Finish State/Local
Final Project – Library Computers
News Brief: Rachel had the news brief today and chose this story to talk about: CNN.com - MH370: Is Inmarsat right? This related to the U.S. Government, because it is helping with the search for the missing plane.
Review Test: To start class, we went over the scantron results from the judicial branch test. For whatever reason, nobody got a 4 in the class on this - maybe because there were only 30 questions? Make sure to keep studying for the semester final, which will have questions from every test on it!
Finish State/Local: This was completing the questions from the last reading material of the course. Since State and Local issues are so relevant to everyone (especially with the Beaverton bond measure passing!), I hope this was interesting!
Final Project: To end the class, I introduced the final project for the semester, which is a group activist project on a state or local issue that you are passionate about. We will be conducting a "public hearing" in class next week with these. Seniors will present first on Wednesday, then take the final. Juniors will then present and study.
Here is the link to check out the final project online (there is a separate worksheet for in class with your group partners):
Let me know if you have any questions I can answer before next class! Thanks!
