State and Local Government, Day 6 - Class Recap


Cannon Beach, Oregon. Photo taken in 2007.

Dear class,

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.

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., and because today is PRIDE Friday at Westview. Lyrics here.

AGENDA 1/27/17:
News Brief – Kaden
State and Local Packet
Final Review
Work Time

Homework: Read the blog. Prepare for finals! Next news brief: Max.

News Brief: Kaden had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: CNN.com - Trump floats 20% tax on Mexican imports to pay for wall, but considering other options. We checked in about this story and the possible implications, as well as updates on the finals schedule (yours is on Tuesday, February 7), before moving on.

State and Local Packet: After the news, 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! We will review the material next class.

Final Review/Work Time: Most of class was designated as work time, since it was the last day to turn in any missing work from the semester for me before finals. I went over grades individually with every student in the class. I also passed out the final review sheet, here:


Next class, we will play Jeopardy to review for the final, go over the study guide, and then there will be study time. Have a great weekend!
