Dear class,
It was a mostly a review and study day in class, for the upcoming judicial branch test. 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: "Rockin' in the Free World" by Neil Young. Selected for today because the laws of our country are supposed to ensure freedom. Lyrics here.
AGENDA 12/1/17:
News Brief – Jun
Finish Prep
Mock Trials
Homework: Read the blog. Next news brief: Hunter.
News Brief: Jun had the news brief today, but it slipped his mind, so I filled in and talked about former Vice President Joe Biden's visit to Portland yesterday. Here is the photo from my Instagram that I showed in class!
Hunter was assigned to do the next news brief.
Mock Trials: The majority of class was taken up by doing the mock trials for the cases we had time for (#1 and #2, listed below - we will finish with #3 and #4, next class) We had a really excellent discussion on the issues: student speech and school segregation. Please complete the rest of your mock trial packet, if you did not in class! Here are the actual results of the cases, with audio of the arguments, if you are interested:
I was pleased to hear so many well thought out opinions on these cases! Thanks, everyone!
