Something I care a lot about in our local community is supporting the Portland Thorns women's professional soccer team. I helped paint this banner for the start of last season! Photo taken in 2015.
Today was almost entirely devoted to our final work day on State and Local Project Presentations, because it was such a short class, due to the Senior Assembly. 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: "I Want It That Way" by Backstreet Boys. Selected for today because students were presenting on what they wanted to have happen in the state/local government. Lyrics here.
AGENDA 6/6/18:
News Brief – Abby K.
Work Time
State and Local Presentations
Homework: Read the blog. State and Local projects due to be presented next class! Start studying for the final! All late work is due by Friday. Next news brief: Carlos.
News Brief: Abby K. had the news brief today, but was forgot, so I filled in and selected an article about this story to talk about: CNN.com - Exclusive: Trump invokes War of 1812 in testy call with Trudeau over tariffs. This was about the recent tariffs (import taxes) on steel and aluminum that President Trump has imposed on Canada (among lots of other countries).
We also checked in about what students were up to outside of class, before moving on.
Work Time: After the news brief, we had some time to prep for the state and local presentations as I set up.
State and Local Presentations: Thank you for your work and for the class in focusing and respecting the presentations for students who were ready to go today. It was good to see the thought and effort put into these and making possible solutions! I enjoyed hearing all about the ideas for possible solutions in our state and local community! If you have not presented yet, you will be asked to do so next class.
Thank you! See you on Friday!
