Today we continued the last unit of the semester with the State and Local packet. 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.
Knowledge LT 5: I can demonstrate an understanding of the principles, structures, and functions of different levels of U.S. government.
Soundtrack: "I Will Buy You A New Life" by Everclear. Selected for today because the song references Portland ("way up in the West Hills") and the band is from the city. Lyrics here.
AGENDA 1/19/18:
News Brief – David (Kayla, Ernesto, CJ, Calvin, Erick)
Presentations
State and Local Packet
Work Time
Homework: Read the blog. Prepare for finals! Next news brief: Avery (and anyone who has not presented yet).
News Brief: David had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: TheVerge.com - Here’s how Hawaii’s emergency alert design led to a false alarm. We checked in about this story and the possible implications, as well as updates on the finals schedule, before moving on to talk about the government shutdown that could happen tonight.
Presentations: We finished the State and Local presentations in class today - I will aim to have these projects graded by next week, so you know where you are going into finals!
State and Local Packet: After the presentations, I passed out this packet, which should be treated as a Study Guide for the State and Local government portion of the final test:
This reading went over all sorts of different aspects of State and Local governments. Important to know!
Work Time: Most of class was designated as work time, since it was the last day to turn in any missing work from the semester for me before finals. I went over grades individually with every student in the class. Thanks for your effort here! One more full week of the semester to go!
