Citizenship Paper - Class Recap


Today is the start of tennis districts, so I will not be at school tomorrow! Photo taken in 2011.

Dear class,

Today we worked on a one day assignment on citizenship (what it is, how you get it, responsibilities of a citizen, and the naturalization process). Here's what happened today in class:

Learning Targets Addressed:
Knowledge LT 1: I can demonstrate an understanding of the interplay between citizens and their governments.

Soundtrack: "Happy" by Pharrell Williams. Selected for today because you should be happy about the upcoming weekend and the end of the year! Lyrics here.

AGENDA 5/12/16:
News Brief – Xander
Class Feedback
Citizenship Paper
Computer Lab N210

Homework: Read the blog. Finish citizenship paper if you did not in class! Next news brief: Steven.

News Brief: Xander had the news brief today and selected this article to talk about: CNN.com - North Carolina, U.S., square off over transgender rights. This happens to be the same story (and article) that Jordan R. brought in last class, and it is of course always good to continue talking about major current event stories.

We also checked in about the weekend - our next class is on Election Day here in Oregon! Hooray!

Class Feedback: I always try to ask students at least once about how class is going and what could be going better. This was anonymous (unless you wanted to put your name on it) feedback based on these questions:

What do you like about this class? What do you think you as students are good at?

What does this class (you, as students) need to improve at?

What do you like about Mr. Fritz as a teacher? What is Mr. Fritz good at as a teacher?

What does Mr. Fritz need to improve at as a teacher?

I look forward to reading your answers and sharing the results with the class next time!

Citizenship Paper: This is meant as a short assignment, just so be able to demonstrate proficiency again with LT 1 and the Research target. Here's the assignment, due at the start of next class:


Again, I am just looking to see that you can identify and explain the basics of rights and responsibilities as a United States citizen. Thank you for your hard work on this!

Computer Lab N210: The rest of class was spent in N210, working on the citizenship paper. If you did not finish this today in class, it is homework. Get it in to me as soon as you can. Thank you! Enjoy your weekend!
