Today was our last real work day in class, as far as new content to do (the State and Local packet). Here's what happened in class today:
Learning Targets Addressed:
Knowledge LT 1: I can demonstrate an understanding of the interplay between citizens and their governments.
Knowledge LT 5: I can demonstrate an understanding of the principles, structures, and functions of different levels of U.S. government.
Knowledge LT 5: I can demonstrate an understanding of the principles, structures, and functions of different levels of U.S. government.
Soundtrack: "Pride (In the Name of Love)" by U2. Selected for today because the song is in large part about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose legacy we honored on Monday with not having school. I hope you did something to try and serve our community with your time! Lyrics here.
AGENDA 1/19/15:
News Brief – Ellimay
State of the Union
State and Local Packet
Q's For Commissioner Fritz
Homework: Read the blog. Prepare for finals! Next news brief (just find an article related to government - no write up needed): Emma.
Wildcat News Brief: Ellimay had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: CNN.com - Supreme Court to take up Obama immigration actions. We talked about this executive action earlier in the semester, and now the Supreme Court has taken the case (as 25 states have sued the Obama Administration about it). Thanks, Ellimay! Emma has the next news brief.
After the news brief, we watched Wildcat News. For those wanting to see it again (or if you missed class), here it is:
State of the Union: To catch up in class about President Obama's last State of the Union address last week, I showed a four minute highlight from TIME.com here. It was interesting to hear the President talk about what he sees as his accomplishments, ideas, and how to be an effective citizen (which we have talked about in class).
State and Local Packet: After the SOTU review, I passed out this packet, which should be treated as a Study Guide for the State and Local government portion of the final test:
This reading went over all sorts of different aspects of State and Local governments. Important to know, with my mom coming to visit the class next class! We reviewed the material together later in class.
Q's for Commissioner Fritz: At the end of class, I asked students to make questions for my mom's visit next class. She is a Portland City Commissioner, and so her visit very much relates to our State and Local Government unit! I'm excited to have her in and for everyone to meet her!
