State and Local Government, Day 7 - Class Recap


The view from Ecola State Park, looking down at Cannon Beach here in Oregon. This would be a good weekend to get to the beach and get out of the heat!

Hi everyone,

Today was a very quick class, with the shortened assembly schedule. We managed to get in some more State/Local project presentations with the short time we were together. 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: "Friday, I'm In Love" by The Cure. Selected for today because it was Friday. :-) Lyrics here.

AGENDA 6/3/16:
News Brief – Mo/Stephanie/Alexis
State and Local Presentations
Lift Ev'ry Voice
Discussion

Homework: Read the blog. Continue studying for finals! Next news brief: Jay.

News Brief: Mo had the news brief today and selected an article about Matt Damon's speech to MIT graduates talking about Donald Trump. I then talked about Hillary Clinton's speech yesterday, which many people see as a turn in her campaign to be more directly confrontational with Trump. Here's the article that I said I would post on the blog: CNN.com - Clinton takes on Trump: Her 34 toughest lines.

And for those wanting to watch the speech, here it is: YouTube.com - Hillary Clinton National Security Address - FULL SPEECH (C-SPAN).

As always, very interesting to follow the campaign!

State and Local Presentations: For the rest of class, we had students who had not presented their projects yet talk about what they did, in terms of identifying a problem, coming up with solutions, and implementing the solution. We will continue with these as we have time to do so! Thanks, and have a great weekend!
