Judicial Branch, Day 9 - Class Recap


We are about to begin our State and Local Government unit - my mom is a local elected leader in Portland!

Hello everyone!

It was great to see you all today in class. Here's what happened in class today:

Learning Targets Addressed:
Knowledge LT 1: I can demonstrate an understanding of the interplay between citizens and their governments.
Knowledge LT 5: I can demonstrate an understanding of the principles, structures, and functions of different levels of U.S. government.
Research LT 5: I can effectively conduct and apply research. 

Soundtrack: "Walk on Water" by 30 Seconds to Mars. Selected for today because of the music video (which I played in class) having a lot to do with American government.

AGENDA 12/13/17:
News Brief – Vinh
Review Judicial Quiz
12 Angry Men
Class Feedback
Citizenship Paper

Homework: Read the blog. Turn in any missing work ASAP! Next news brief: CJ.

News Brief: Vinh had the news brief today and talked about this recent story: Mashable.com -  What the 2017 net neutrality vote actually means for you. We talked about tomorrow's Net Neutrality vote and what the possible impacts could be. We also talked about what people were up to outside of class. Thanks, everyone!

Review Judicial Quiz: Last class, we took the Judicial Branch quiz, so today, we reviewed it as students who had not taken it were taking it outside of the class. Grades have been updated on StudentVUE!

12 Angry Men: We finished this movie today (there was only about 10 minutes left in class). I hope you enjoyed this classic!

Class Feedback: I always enjoy asking my classes about how things are going, both with the class and with my teaching. I will review the anonymous feedback you gave and go over it with the class soon.

Citizenship Paper: We did not have time today in class (due to the shortened Wednesday schedule) to get to this today, so we will start it next class. Thanks, everyone!
