Soundtrack: "Battlefield" by Jordin Sparks. Selected for today because the end of the year can feel like a series of battles. Keep working hard, everyone! Lyrics here.
AGENDA 5/31/17:
News Brief – Colleen
State/Local Project
Work Time
Grade Check
Homework: Read the blog. Your State/Local final project is due to be turned in and presented next class! Seniors: your final for the class is next Tuesday! Next news brief: Kendall.
News Brief: Colleen had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: CNN.com - Appeals court upholds block on Trump's travel ban; administration to appeal to Supreme Court. We discussed what has happened with the travel ban and the next step of taking it to the Supreme Court. We also talked about President Trump tweeting about "covfefe" last night: NYTimes.com - What’s a ‘Covfefe’? Trump Tweet Unites a Bewildered Nation.
We also talked about the weekend, and in particular, the attacks on the MAX train in Portland, as well as how important it is to speak up against prejudice and hate in our community, while also recognizing that free speech is a foundation of our country.
State/Local Project: We kept working on this project, which is a two page paper, with at least three MLA citations, about a local issue that you care about. Here's the handout:
We went through this together again, and then continued working on it in class.

Work Time/Grade Check: The rest of class was spent working on Chromebooks, researching for the State and Local project and writing about an issue that you care about in our local community as I checked in with students about grades. Next class, you will be presenting about your problem and turning your paper in. Thanks for your hard work, everyone!
