News Brief: Isaac had the news brief today and talked about this story for the news brief: CNN.com - Researchers find possible North Korea link to massive cyberattack. We found North Korea in the world map packet and talked about this story, including what happened with this particular cyber attack and how it was related to Microsoft and our own government. After the news brief, we checked in about the weekend.
We also watched the one minute BBC World News update. Here's the link to see the latest one minute update, at any time of day (it will probably be different from what we watched in class):
The next news brief was assigned to Cara.

The End of Poverty: This was based on learning more about what life is like in different countries. I asked the class to split up based on how fast students thought they were at reading, and assigned this paper and reading to a group of four:
Here is the reading that goes along with the assignment:
