State and Local Government, Day 6 - Class Recap

Dear class

I enjoyed talking with everyone about their projects today, and also our work with analyzing how race has impacted our state and local government, especially in Portland. 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: "Coming Home" by Mat Kearney. Selected for today because it is a song about Oregon. Lyrics here.

AGENDA 6/8/18:
News Brief – Carlos
State and Local Presentations
Lift Ev'ry Voice
Discussion

Homework: Read the blog. Continue studying for finals! Next news brief: Sofia.

News Brief: Carlos had the news brief today and selected an article about this story: CNN.com - Trump picks 'attitude' over prep work ahead of Singapore summit. This meeting between President Trump and Kim Jong Un is scheduled to take place next Tuesday, when we have class! So I am sure we will have plenty to talk about then.

State and Local Presentations: Most of the rest of class was spent presenting these projects about a state or local issue of student choice. Woo hoo! If you have not turned in the corresponding paper, please do so ASAP (link to do so on Google Classroom), as I will be grading these soon. The rest of these presentations will be next class.

See you next week, everyone!
