State and Local Government, Day 4 - Class Recap


Today was the sunset for the seniors in our class! I am wishing them all the best and success in life! Photo taken in 2007, over California.

Dear class,

Another disjointed day today, due to the seniors needing to take their finals in class, and rest of the class just using the class as a study period, before State and Local government presentations are due later this week. 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: "Good Life" by OneRepublic. Selected for today because of the seniors last day! On with the rest of their life soon! Lyrics here.

AGENDA 6/4/18:
News Brief – James
Senior Finals
Study Time
State and Local Project

Homework: Read the blog. State and Local project due to be presented in class on Friday! All late/missing/revised work due Friday as well! Thank you, seniors! Next news brief: Abby K.

News Brief: James had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: CNN.com - Supreme Court rules for Colorado baker in same-sex wedding cake case. We talked a little bit about this very interesting story and the implications that it could have moving forward. Abby K. has the next news brief.

Senior Finals: During this time, seniors were taking their final in class. Thanks for respecting their time and effort with being quiet! I hope they went well for the seniors! I am grateful for their effort this semester and I am wishing them all the best! Keep in touch, class of 2018!

Study Time: The rest of class (as seniors were taking the test) was devoted to reviewing for the final. Here's the study guide I passed out for that:


Students who were in class also got a more detailed study guide on the back side of this. Come see me if you missed class for this. Thank you!

State and Local Presentations: We will continue with these as we have time to do so! Next class, we will have a very short work day (due to the senior assembly), before the project is due to be presented on Friday.

Thanks everyone, and especially all of the seniors!
