News Brief: Lindsay had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: NYTimes.com - Sarah Palin Endorses Donald Trump, Which Could Bolster Him in Iowa. I talked about this, and the 2008 Presidential Election, where Sarah Palin was a Vice Presidential nominee for the Republican Party. It's really too bad our class is ending this week, because the primaries for the presidential election this year are going to be super interesting! Please continue to pay close attention to what is going on!
I also went over some more information from my mom about mental illness, which was in response to Lindsay's question about how to help support people experiencing mental illness last class.
The next news brief was assigned to Dru, who kindly volunteered.
Jeopardy Review: Another fun session of Jeopardy with the class! This was to review content for the final, next class. If you want to see the slides again, here they are:
Congratulations to Team 3 for coming out on top of the competition! I hope everyone had fun playing.

Questions?/Final Prep: At the end of class, I took questions (mostly about scheduling for next semester) and gave time for students to review the Study Guide again. Here it is (at least, the first page), if you missed class or wanted to see it again:
Your final for this class is next Wednesday at 7:45 AM. See you then! I'm looking forward to our last class together!

Hi Mr. Fritz! Could you play a song called "Welcome to My Life" By: Simple Plan. It is a really good song that relates to mostly all kids in high school and finals is this week and I think it will be a good song to listen to.
ReplyDeleteHi Finn! Thanks for the suggestion! I have a song that I always play as the final soundtrack for the class, but I will try and remember to mention yours, too. See you tomorrow!
