This past weekend was Father's Day! Here I am with my dad, mom, and both sets of my grandparents, in 2007.

News Brief: Eric C. had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: BBC.com - Finsbury Park attack: Theresa May condemns 'sickening' terror attack. We found the United Kingdom in the world map and discussed this most recent terrorist attack on Muslims, which came after Ramadan prayers at a London mosque. After that, we checked in about the weekend and what students were up to outside of class.
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):
See you on Wednesday, for our final class of the year! It will be shortened, but we have lots of good stuff to get to in order to close out the year together well. :-)

Final Project/Discussion: As promised, this was the Israel and Palestine Peace Conference. First, we had speeches (students that needed to demonstrate a Communication grade) that explained various aspects of the conflict and proposed possible solutions. We then had a great in class conversation with everyone about their thoughts on how to create peace in Israel and Palestine. Generally, I thought this was quite good, and students seemed to know their stuff. Thank you for your effort on this! I look forward to reading your papers, as well.
