Today in class, we opened the walls so it was one big classroom with Mr. Puterbaugh, and talked about "Night" themes! This is a photo of Long Beach, California at night.
I enjoyed opening the walls up to have one big class together! Here's what happened in class today:
Learning Targets:
Knowledge LT 17: I can explain how and why world societies organize themselves and how power is established and maintained.
Behavior LT 1: I can manage my responsibilities as a student.
Behavior LT 2: I can self-direct my learning.
Behavior LT 3: I can communicate and work effectively within a team or group.
Soundtrack: "Another Brick in the Wall (Part II)" by Pink Floyd. Selected for today because we took down the wall between the two classrooms! Lyrics here.
AGENDA 1/22/18:
Wildcat News Brief – Max
Open Walls
"Night" Theme Work
Homework: Read the blog. Continue preparing for all of your finals! Next news brief: John.
News Brief: Max selected an article about this story for the news brief today: BBC.com - Mysterious Dead Sea Scroll deciphered in Israel. We talked about this story for a little bit and found Israel in our world maps, before moving on.
John was selected to do the next news brief.
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):
Finally, here is Westview Wildcat News again if you missed class or wanted to watch it again:
Open Walls/"Night" Theme Work: After the news brief, we opened the walls so that we could be one big classroom with Mr. Puterbaugh's room. Here is the lesson on "Night" themes that we went through, as we had students working in small groups to identify themes and quotes from specific chapters:
Next class, we will get back to preparing for the Global Studies final, but it was definitely fun to be together as a whole group today in class! See you on Wednesday!
