Almost every subway station in Washington, D.C. looks like this. The light at the end of the tunnel is getting bigger!
Dear class,
Last full week of the year! Here's what we did today in class:
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: “Waterfalls" by TLC. Selected because of the Watergate scandal that made President Nixon resign. Lyrics here.
AGENDA 6/2/14:
News Brief
Study Guide
Computer Lab N229
Homework: The final project is due next class! Seniors: please also study for the final! Read the blog!
News Brief: Nobody did a news brief to present today, so we skipped on to the study guide.
Study Guide: I passed out the study guide for the semester final (100 questions, multiple choice), which we will be reviewing throughout the rest of the week. Here it is to download if you need it again:
Computer Lab N229: Again, this is 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 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:
And here is the worksheet that will help you and your group answer the questions (the second page has a bunch of options for state/local problems):
These are the groups we made in class:
1) Mel, Kenny, Chris
2) Emi, Rachel, and Anab
3) Marco, Micah, Austin
4) Reed, Olivia
5) Jesse, Cam, Hailey
6) Jonathan, Eddy, Kevin
7) James, Dawnte

Make sure you split up the work evenly! If your partner does not show up for the presentation, you will be assessed on your own work!
The rest of class was spent in the computer lab working. Wednesday is the seniors last day, and will be project presentation time (followed by the final for seniors and studying for everyone else). Let me know if you have questions!
