Hi everyone,

Today, we heard from Deputy Scott Haley, our Student Support Officer here at Westview, and also went through more introduction to the Executive Branch. Here's what happened today in class:

Learning Targets Addressed:
Knowledge LT 1: I can demonstrate an understanding of the interplay between citizens and their governments.
Knowledge LT 3: I can demonstrate an understanding of how individuals and non-governmental institutions interact with each other and the government in shaping politics.
Knowledge LT 5: I can demonstrate an understanding of the principles, structures, and functions of different levels of U.S. government.

Soundtrack: "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus. Selected for today because we are continuing to learn about American government! Lyrics here.

AGENDA 4/18/18:
News Brief – Abdu and Dom
Deputy Haley
CRLE Forms
Review Legislative Test

Homework: Read the blog. Next news brief: Logan.

News Brief: Abdu and Dom had the news brief today and selected these stories to talk about in class:



Due to our guest speaker, we did not dive into this too much in class, but they are definitely interesting stories!

We selected Logan to do the next news brief.

Deputy Haley: Much of the rest of class was devoted to Scott Haley, who is the officer here at Westview. Scott talked about his experience with being the Student Support Officer here this year. Hopefully, you enjoyed hearing him talk with the class, because I definitely did! This is the video that I introduced him with:



CRLE Forms: As a part of the guest speaker coming in, students should fill out a Career Related Learning Experience form (I believe you need to have 4 of these completed as a graduation requirement). This year, this need to be completed online, so please follow the links to do this. Thanks!

Review Legislative Test: We did not have time to get to this today, but your grades are in StudentVUE, and we will come back to this next class.

Thanks, everyone!
