Something I care a lot about in our local community is supporting the Portland Thorns women's professional soccer team. I helped paint this banner for the start of last season! Photo taken in 2015.
Today was almost entirely devoted to State and Local Project Presentations. 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.
Research LT 5: I can effectively conduct and apply research.

Soundtrack: "I Want It That Way" by Backstreet Boys. Selected for today because students were presenting on what they wanted to have happen in the state/local government. Lyrics here.
AGENDA 5/26/16:
News Brief – Kourtney
Prep Time
State and Local Presentations
Study Guide
Homework: Read the blog. Start studying for the final! All late work is due by today at the latest (not including the State and Local Project). Next news brief: Chase (no write up needed, just story)
News Brief: Kourtney had the news brief today and selected this post to talk about: PortlandOregon.Gov - Mayor Hales: Priorities and Accomplishments. This was talking about the city of Portland and the current mayor, and what he wants to do with the last year in office. Thanks, Kourtney!
We also checked in about the long weekend, before moving on.
Prep Time: After the news brief, we had some time to prep for the state and local presentations, as I helped multiple students print out their papers. Ugh. Seriously, we had three days in the Computer Labs to do this. Be on top of your stuff.
State and Local Presentations: Thank you for your work and for the class in focusing and respecting the presentations. It was good to see the thought and effort put into these and making possible solutions! I enjoyed hearing all about the ideas for possible solutions in our state and local community! If you have not presented yet, you will be asked to do so next class, probably after the seniors are done with their tests.
Study Guide: The end of class was devoted to checking out the study guide I passed out for final (this was mostly to help out the seniors, who are taking the final next class, on Wednesday):

Students who were in class also got a more detailed study guide on the back side of this. Come see me if you missed class for this. Thank you! Have a great long weekend!
