The flag of the United States, before the Holiday Bowl football game in 2008. Next class, we will have an interesting mock trial on saying the Pledge of Allegiance in class.
Hi everyone,
Since it was a shorter day today (being Wednesday), we mostly treated it as a work day to prepare for the Mock Trials next class. 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: "My Generation" by The Who. Selected for today because the mock trial cases had to do with your generation. Lyrics here.
AGENDA 11/29/17:
News Brief – Lucas
Mock Trial Prep
Homework: Read the blog. Turn in any missing work! Next news brief: Jun.
News Brief: Lucas had the news brief today and talked about this story: OregonLive.com - Former Bank of Oswego CEO, CFO convicted of conspiracy. We talked for a bit about this in class (an interesting local story!) before moving on to discuss what is happening with us and in the government (especially as it relates to North Korea and what to do with the latest missile test there.
Jun was assigned to do the next news brief.
Mock Trial Prep: The rest of the class was devoted to preparing for mock trials, which we will do next class. This was a very complicated process to explain, but students in class got it, I think! If you missed class, you are going to need to come see me in person to get your case forms and the assignment sheet.
Be prepared to finish these at the start of next class, and then do the four mock trials! See you then!
