--
News Brief: Yovanka had the news brief today and selected this story to talk about with the class: ABCNews.go.com - Mother who refused to bring son's vaccinations up to date sentenced to 7 days in jail. We discussed this story and had an interesting discussion in class about the role of the government in public health and making people get vaccinated. Thanks, everyone!
We also talked a bit about the upcoming weekend, before moving on.
Seraiah volunteered for the next news brief.
Constitution Quiz: As promised! I hope that this went well for everyone. I will try to have them graded and entered later today. The first 10 questions were about the philosophy of U.S. Government, the second 10 questions were about the branches of government/checks of power, and the last 10 questions were about the Bill of Rights.
Gun Nation: This was the "Gun Nation" episode of the "30 Days" documentary series. I asked students to note Pro and Con arguments for gun rights, as well as what students thought should happen now with gun rights in America. I think this episode does a really good job of looking at both sides of the debate, and is pretty powerful. We will debrief this next class!
Rights of the Accused: We did not get to this in class, due to time. We will next time! Have a great weekend, everyone.
