State and Local Government, Day 5 - Class Recap

Today, we played a game of Jeopardy in class. This weekend is the championships of another kind of game: the French Open. This is a picture I took in Paris at the French Open last year, when Rafael Nadal won.

Dear class,

Welcome to your last weekend of the 2013-14 school year at Westview! I had a lot of fun playing Jeopardy review with everyone! Here's the class recap for today:

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: “My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark" by Fall Out Boy. Selected because it is pump up song for playing Jeopardy. Lyrics here.

AGENDA 6/6/14:
News Brief
Council Presentations
Jeopardy Review
Study Time

Homework: Review notes and material for in class final on Wednesday. Read the blog! Last news brief: Cam.

News Brief: We did not have the news brief today, due to a student forgetting. Next time!

Council Presentations: Everyone that did not present last class did so today. Thanks again for your work and effort on this, everyone! I enjoyed them a lot.

Jeopardy Review: This is definitely my favorite way to prepare for an upcoming test. Again, the first four categories contain questions that will actually be on the semester final. The final will be 100 multiple choice questions. Here is the PowerPoint again to review, if you want:


There are obviously questions on the final that are not on the review, and the review does not have the answers.

Study Time: The rest of time in class was given as study time. There were all sorts of handouts in the room available to study from and I am happy to answer questions at any time!

See you next week! Our final is from 9:30-11:00 on Wednesday!
