One more step on the bridge to the second semester, completed! Photo taken in New Zealand in 2014.
Today was finals for your period! I hope they went well and that you are looking forward to our last day together on Thursday. Here's what happened in class today:
Learning Targets Addressed:
Knowledge LT 5: I can demonstrate an understanding of the principles, structures, and functions of different levels of U.S. government.
Soundtrack: "Lucky Star" by Madonna. Selected for today because I searched for "luck" in my iTunes and this is one song that came up, for good luck on finals. Lyrics here.AGENDA 2/7/17:
News Brief – Alessandra
Final Test
Reflection
Divided States of America
Homework: Read the blog! Good luck on the rest of your finals! See you next class! Next news brief: Lili.
News Brief: Alessandra had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: Politico.com - Trump's travel ban: What's next in the legal fight? We talked about this continuing story in terms of the judicial branch interacting with the executive branch. Today, the travel ban (which has been stopped for the time being) goes before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Definitely interesting to continue to follow!
Final Test: This was 100 questions, multiple choice. I think it took a bit longer to complete than in past years, but that is okay. I am looking forward to seeing how everyone did! Grades are due by February 21, I believe. I will likely have them entered later this week, however.
Reflection: As the test was winding to a close, I passed out a final reflection prompt, about how the class went, what you learned, and what you will remember (if anything) five years from now. I always enjoy reading these, as well.
Divided States of America: Next class, we will be finishing by watching the rest (or as much as we can) of this documentary about what is going on with our political system. Here it is again if you want to review or watch ahead:
Thanks everyone! See you next class for one more day together! :-)
