Dear class,
It is always great to see you in the morning! It helps brighten my day immensely. Here's what happened today in class:
Learning Targets Addressed:
Knowledge LT 2: I can demonstrate an understanding of the role of governments in current issues.
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: "Money" by Pink Floyd. Selected for today because trials and lawyers cost a lot of money to run.
AGENDA 12/12/16:
News Brief – Michael
Review
Judicial Branch Test
12 Angry Men
Homework: Read the blog. Turn in any late/incomplete work. Next news brief: Tristen W.
News Brief: Michael had the news brief today and talked about this story: CBSNews.com - Marine Corps F/A-18 Hornet crashes off Japan. This was a great tie in with the Executive Branch unit, as we continue to monitor involvement of US forces around the world. Thanks, Michael! We also talked about last weekend, before moving on.
Ryan was assigned to do the next news brief.

Review: This was a time for review of the study guide for the Judicial Branch test, since it had been so unexpectedly long since last class.
Judicial Branch Test: As promised, 40 questions, multiple choice. It is a busy end to the week, and I will hope to get these grades get entered ASAP.
12 Angry Men: After the test, we started watching one of the most critically acclaimed movies ever: 12 Angry Men (1957). This is a great way to wrap up the judicial branch unit, as we learn more about the jury process through watching this film. I know it is old and black and white, and I was glad to see that students were paying close attention. Here is the film note-taking assignment, if you missed class or lost your copy:
We will finish watching this next class! See you then.
