Note: My classes today had a substitute teacher today due to me needing to attend a Westview Global Studies team meeting in Salem. This recap is what I wanted to have happen in class - a shortened day due to the Homecoming Assembly schedule!
A pagoda in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. This was right across the street from where my friend Clarke lived for a while. Photo taken in 2011.
Hi everyone,
Today we finished the Time For School assignment and continued to work on the Culture Project. Here's the recap for today:
Learning Targets:
Communication LT 1: I can communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing.
Critical Thinking LT 1: I can explain multiple perspectives and viewpoints.
Knowledge LT 15: I can explain how culture both reflects and shapes society.
Behavior LT 1: I can manage my responsibilities as a student.
Soundtrack: "Rhapsody in Blue" by Leonard Bernstein. Selected for today because I went flying over the last weekend, and this song is used in United Airlines commercials. No lyrics, but listen here.
AGENDA 10/20/17:
News Brief – Everett
Time for School
Culture Project
Homework: Read the blog. Continue working on the Culture Project! Next news brief: Derek.
News Brief: Everett had the news brief today and hopefully had something interesting to share with the class as everyone noted on their world maps where it was. Derek was selected to do the next news brief last class.
Because I was not in class, there was no BBC News today. 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):
Time For School: We finished Time For School today. If you missed class and the handout, here it is:
Again, the point to this was to analyze how we see surface culture and what deeper culture is like in different areas around the world.
If you missed class and need to catch up, or simply want to review it again:
Today, we went back to the assignment, talked about the students and their culture, then answered the three questions on the back side of the paper. Please keep this for the future, as it will be part of the Culture Unit Collection of Evidence.
This will be due in class on Monday, October 30, so be working on it at home, bring work into class to do, and ask questions if you need help!
The rest of class was devoted to working on the Culture Project. Please continue to be working on this at home and let me know if you have questions by sending me an email! See you next class. :-)
