This Sunday is Mother's Day! Here I am with my sister and brother with my mom in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, over Winter Break 2014!
Hi everyone,
There was an assembly today, and we watched a classic film, too. As such, it was a relatively easy day. Here's what happened today in class:
Learning Targets Addressed:
Knowledge LT 5: I can demonstrate an understanding of the principles, structures, and functions of different levels of U.S. government.
Soundtrack: "Rockin' In The Free World" by Neil Young. Selected for today because we are free to conduct ourselves, within the rules of our society (the laws)! Lyrics here.
AGENDA 5/8/15:
News Brief – Courtney
12 Angry Men
Homework: Read the blog. Turn in any late/incomplete work as soon as possible. The Judicial Branch test will be next Thursday. Next news brief: Zoey
News Brief: Courtney had the news brief today and selected this article to talk about: CNN.com - American doctor declared free of Ebola finds the virus in his eye months later. I went quickly through this section, but I also showed the class these election results from the United Kingdom, where my Uncle Peter won re-election to his local council: Chiltern District Council Elections 2015.
I assigned Zoey to do the next news brief (no write up needed).
12 Angry Men: After the news brief, we went up to Ms. Nelson's room in S226, to watch the famous movie 12 Angry Men (1957), which is excellent at showing the jury process. Here is a link to the questions about the movie:
If you want to see the whole movie (or missed class), please find a copy on your own (I borrowed Mr. Bortnick's copy for class today).

Such a classic movie! Rated in the Top 10 all time for a reason. A great way to end the class before the weekend! Thanks for your focus. See you next week! :-)
