Religion, Day 5 - Class Recap


Arabic calligraphy that surrounds the entrance to the Taj Mahal, in India. We learned about Islam today in class - this is a famous example of Islamic architecture in the world! Photo taken over Spring Break, 2015. 

Hi everyone,

I hope you are feeling excited for the prospect of a three day weekend coming up! I certainly believe you have earned it! It is a very stressful time of the year for everyone, and I am grateful for some time to grade and then relax a bit, as well. Here's what we did today in class:

Learning Targets: 
Knowledge LT 21: I can explain how religious ideas impact the shaping of societies.
Critical Thinking LT 2: I can explain connections between events, issues, problems and concepts.

Soundtrack: "Spirit in the Sky" by Norman Greenbaum. Selected for today because of our ongoing religion unit. The lyrics also mention Jesus, who we talked about today and last class in regards to Christianity.

AGENDA 4/27/17:
News Brief – Mills
A Christian Nation?
The Pluralism Project
Islam

Homework: Read the blog! Know your grade and how to improve it - Russian Revolution (found on this post), World War I work (found in this post) and finishing Historical Investigation if you have not - revisions needed, as well. All late work for this progress report is due at midnight on Thursday (today). Next news brief: Katie.
---
News Brief: Mills had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: Reuters.com - UK police arrest man with knives near PM's office in anti-terrorism operation. We found the United Kingdom on the world map and talked about this story, which was breaking news this morning.

The next news brief was assigned to Katie.

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):


A Christian Nation?: This was not meant as a debate question in class, but rather a look at how religion impacts and shapes our own society (relating, as always, to the learning target for the unit).

To start, we watched a short clip of President Obama saying that the United States is no longer a Christian nation, which upset a lot of people at the time.

Next, I showed this story from nearby in Washington:


This was meant as a call back to earlier in the year, when we had a Forced Choice debate on whether or not the phrase In God We Trust should be removed from our currency. It was also meant to show how fired up both sides were, and how religion impacts our society.

Then, we watched the first few minutes of this debate on the TV show Hardball in 2009, between an Atheist and a Christian, talking about the origins of the United States government and the role religion should play in our lives:


Finally, I showed some more Pro/Con quotes. Again, this was not a debate we had in class - I just wanted everyone to see that it IS a debate, and be able to identify some different perspectives about how religion impacts and shapes our own society (in keeping with the learning target of the unit).

The Pluralism Project: Next, I passed out this in-class assignment, which is a reading and some questions on the back:


The point here was to see that there are a variety of different religions (and people who don't believe in religion) in the United States, which the article makes the case is a reason our society has been shaped (get it - the learning target again!). Students were expected to read the article and answer the three questions on the back. I called on students randomly to talk about the answers. As part of this interesting discussion, I pointed out that "Jedism" had a fair amount of adherents in the UK: BBC.com - Have Jedi created a new 'religion'?

Islam: Next, we continued with the religion notes, using the Cornell Notes format. Here is the PowerPoint again:


Today, we finished the last religion in the PowerPoint - Islam. I appreciated your focus on it! I enjoyed, as always, explaining and trying to answer questions from the class. It was also great to have students be able to share and explain more about their own faiths!

Religion, Day 4 - Class Recap


We took notes about Christianity today in class. This is a photo from the top of a mountain overlook Cabo San Lucas, at the tip of Baja California in Mexico. Taken over Winter Break, 2014.

Dear class,

It was nice to be able to continue looking at how religion impacts society, and with taking notes on a new religion. Here's what we did today in class:

Learning Targets: 
Knowledge LT 21: I can explain how religious ideas impact the shaping of societies.
Critical Thinking LT 2: I can explain connections between events, issues, problems and concepts.

Soundtrack: "Nocturne in C-Sharp Minor" from The Pianist (Wladek Szpilman). Selected for today because the film The Pianist is about the Holocaust, and we are learning about Judaism in society. No lyrics, but listen here.

AGENDA 4/25/17:
News Brief – Eric J.
Israel and Religion
Christianity
Grade Check

Homework: Read the blog! Know your grade and how to improve it - Russian Revolution (found on this post), World War I work (found in this post) and finishing Historical Investigation if you have not - revisions needed, as well. All late work for this progress report is due at midnight on Thursday. Next news brief: Mills.
---
News Brief: Eric J. had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: BBC.com - North Korea tensions: US submarine arrives in South Korea. We found North Korea in the world map packet and talked about this story, along with a bit about what is happening there in terms of the tensions between the United States and North Korea about a possible nuclear bomb test.

The next news brief was assigned to Mills.

As usual, we has a spirited conversation about the weekend and what people were up to. I always enjoy hearing about life outside the classroom!

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):


Israel and Religion: To focus on how the Jewish religion impacts and shapes society, it is easy to point to the only country in the world where Judaism is the main religion: Israel. To start this section, I played this video, which is about the Holocaust Memorial Day in Israel, and stopping everything for a minute to reflect:


The next document I showed the class was this recent survey of Americans about their attitudes towards Israel: Gallup.com - Seven in 10 Americans Continue to View Israel Favorably. I showed this to demonstrate that there is still huge support for Israel here in the United States, and I talked about the reasons why this might be - again, how religion impacts society.

Finally, I showed this video from the New York Times: NYTimes.com - Israelis Split Over Service. This was to show the conflict within Israel between Ultra-Orthodox Jews and the military, who mandates that people of the country serve when they turn 18.

After the video, I asked the question of whether or not students thought the Jewish people in the video should be forced to serve in the military, and we had an interesting discussion about it. Thank you for your participation here!

Christianity: Next, we continued with the religion notes, using the Cornell Notes format. Here is the PowerPoint again:


Today, we finished the fourth religion in the PowerPoint - Christianity. I appreciated your focus on it! I enjoyed, as always, explaining and trying to answer questions from the class. :-)

Grade Check: So, because I was feeling nice, instead of having the rest of class be devoted to grade checks, we played the country naming game on Sporcle! You were able to beat your previous score and now top the three classes - way to go! It was a really fun end to the day - thanks everyone! All of that said, it is still very important to stay on top of your grades, especially now that the historical investigation grades have been handed back! See you next class!

Religion, Day 3 - Class Recap


Today, I wanted students to envision themselves at a beach. This is one of my favorite beaches in the world: Maho Beach, St. Martin, in the Caribbean. Home to one of the greatest places to photograph planes on Earth! Photo taken in 2009. 

Hi everyone,

It was a fun class today - I am glad that we were able to go outside for a bit, to enjoy the weather! Thanks for participating in our class activities today! Here's what we did today in class:

Learning Targets: 
Knowledge LT 21: I can explain how religious ideas impact the shaping of societies.
Critical Thinking LT 2: I can explain connections between events, issues, problems and concepts.

Soundtrack: "Beach Chair" by Jay Z and Chris Martin. Selected for today because of the breathing exercises we did, envisioning ourselves at the beach! Lyrics here.

AGENDA 4/21/17:
News Brief - Carson
Failing Religion
Breathing
Judaism

Homework: Read the blog! Know your grade and how to improve it. Finish Historical Investigation if you have not and submit ASAP (if you do not want an F on the upcoming progress report). Next news brief: Eric J.
---
News Brief: Carson had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: WashingtonPost.com - French election could bring a jolt to Western security, no matter who wins. We found France in our world maps and talked about this story, which is super interesting to me, because my wife gets to vote tomorrow, as a French citizen here in Portland!

The next news brief was assigned to Eric J.

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):


Failing Religion: This section was looking at an article on American's knowledge of religion. We numbered off the paragraphs together, then students were in small groups to read through the article together and answer the questions at the end:


As part of this section, I showed this clip of a bar owner in Myanmar being accused of insulting Buddhism by having an online advertisement with headphones on a Buddha, connected to a dance party with alcoholic drinks:


This is another relationship of religion to society, which is our learning target for this unit. I showed this article about the man being sentenced to two years in prison, as well: NYTimes.com - Myanmar Sentences 3 to Prison for Depicting Buddha Wearing Headphones.

Breathing: I was really excited to try this today - especially as it meant a trip outside! :-) Thank you for being willing to participate in a walk outside to do some breathing and meditation type exercises! It may have been a bit chilly with the wind, and damp with the wet grass, but it was so nice to be outside! The whole point of this was to just relax. Hopefully, it did the trick! We did the guided breathing exercise on the third page of this document (which I altered slightly for context):


Judaism: At the end of class, we came back to the room and continued with the religion notes, using the Cornell Notes format. Here is the PowerPoint again:


Today, we finished the third religion in the PowerPoint - Judaism. This was somewhat lengthy, so I appreciate your focus to it! :-)

Please make sure you are working hard to review your notes, and improve your grade if at all possible! Let me know if there is anything that I can do to help! Thank you!

Religion, Day 2 - Class Recap


At the end of class today, we took notes on the aspects of Buddhism. This is a statue of Buddha at the Monkey Temple in Kathmandu. Photo taken on Spring Break 2015.

Dear class,

I am enjoying our new religion unit, especially because this I get to use a lot of the photos I have taken and experiences I have had around the world! Here's what we did today in class:

Learning Targets: 
Knowledge LT 21: I can explain how religious ideas impact the shaping of societies.
Critical Thinking LT 2: I can explain connections between events, issues, problems and concepts.
Behavior LT 3: I can communicate and work effectively within a team or group.

Soundtrack: "What Goes Around... / ...Comes Around" by Justin Timberlake. Selected for today because we continued looking into Hinduism, in which the concept of karma is very important. Lyrics here.

AGENDA 4/18/17:
News Brief - Skyler
Mad About Cows
Modi and Hindu Nationalism
Religions PowerPoint

Homework: Read the blog! Know your grade and how to improve it. Finish and turn in the Historical Investigation if you have not. Next news brief: Carson.
---
News Brief: Skyler had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: BBC.com - Theresa May to seek general election on 8 June. We found the United Kingdom in our world maps and talked about why the Prime Minister is able to call for new elections, and what advantage that may give to their political party.

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 Carson.

Mad About Cows: This was a group activity designed to try and understand how Hinduism is playing a role in Indian society. This was the article we were looking at, which relates to the unit learning target of how religion helps shape society: NYTimes.com - Indian State Is Expanding Penalty for Killing a Cow to Life in Prison.

The directions were: Get into groups of FOUR (there may be 1-2 groups of three). Read the article together and try to summarize the article as a group. Then, answer the questions below, before we watch the video:

1) What impact is Hinduism having in shaping India’s society in this article?
2) Why was this law passed? What are the benefits to the B.J.P.?
3) Are there any religious practices that similarly shape our own culture?
4)  “Protection of cows is the single-most important principle towards saving the whole world from both moral and spiritual degradation” – why would this be, in the eyes of Hindus and the B.J.P.?
5) How is religion being used as a force for nationalism in India?

We had a fair amount of time in class to go through this together, then we moved on to the next section.

Modi and Hindu Nationalism: After reading the article, I played this video (warning: some graphic descriptions of violence) about the history of India's new Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. Again, we were looking at how society is impacted by religion, and it is clear that Modi's Hindu nationalist party (the Bharatiya Janata Party) is shaping society through religion in one way or another.

Another example (we did not go over this in class) is this recent New York Times editorial about Modi and how India is promoting mass conversions of Christians and Muslims to Hinduism: NYTimes.com - Modi's Dangerous Silence.

With over a billion people, India is the world's largest democracy. Having just visited during Spring Break in 2015, I was especially interested in focusing on it!

Religions PowerPoint: At the end of class, we continued the religion notes, using the Cornell Notes format. Here is the PowerPoint again:


Today, we finished the second religion in the PowerPoint - Buddhism. Next class, we will look at how Buddhism shapes society and then move on to taking notes on Judaism. See the pattern here? :-)

Please make sure you are working hard to review your notes, and improve your grade if at all possible! I have updated your grades online to reflect whether or not you have turned in your Historical Investigation, as well. Let me know if there is anything that I can do to help! Thank you!

Religion, Day 1 - Class Recap


We started going over some of the world's major religions today in class. The first one in the PowerPoint was Hinduism. This is a Hindu temple in New Delhi, India! Photo taken over Spring Break, 2015.

Hi everyone,

Today, we started out religion unit. I really enjoy talking about religion and learning more about different religions, which always happens when I teach it! Hopefully this is an interesting unit for students, too. Here's what we did today in class:

Learning Targets: 
Knowledge LT 21: I can explain how religious ideas impact the shaping of societies.
Critical Thinking LT 2: I can explain connections between events, issues, problems and concepts.
Behavior LT 3: I can communicate and work effectively within a team or group.

Soundtrack: "God Moving Over The Face of The Waters" by Moby. Selected for today because we started talking about religion today in class. This was an instrumental song with no lyrics. Listen to it again if you want here.

AGENDA 4/14/17:
News Brief - Dominick
Respect
What is Religion?
Religions PowerPoint

Homework: Read the blog! Know your grade and how to improve it. Please turn in the Historical Investigation if you have not. Next news brief: Gina.
---
News Brief: Dominick had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: CNN.com - US military defends dropping 'mother of all bombs' on ISIS in Afghanistan. We found Afghanistan in our world maps and talked about this development in the war there, as far as what happened with this bomb and ongoing situation against ISIS. Thanks, Dominick!

The next news brief was assigned to Skyler.

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):


Respect: To start the religion unit, I went back to our class Ground Rules that we made at the start of the year and noted that respecting each other was a big part. When we are talking about religion, it is important to know that we are not going to be debating religion as a topic or in specific religions and which is the best, or correct one, or anything like that. The goal with this unit is to simply learn as best as we can about religions around the world, so we can understand how they impact society, and students can make up their own mind about them.

What is Religion?: We started the religion unit by completing a pre-assessment in class, which students turned in after completing. Remember that there are no right or wrong answers when it comes to what you personally believe. Our study of religion is based on simply understanding what people think about spirituality around the world, which has a huge impact on life. Here's the pre-assessment:


It seemed like most students were interested in talking about religion, which was good to see! If you would rather remain private about your own religion, I totally understand that, too. It is a very personal decision! Here's the video we watched for the end of the pre-assessment, which does a great job of going over five of the major world religions:


The point here was to learn some new information about major religions! I think it is a really good overview video.

Religions PowerPoint: Next, we started (it will take us a long time to finish) the religion notes, using the Cornell Notes format. These are particularly famous in Ms. DeFrance Gilman's classes. I spiced them up a bit with photos from my travels as a part of the slides! Here is the PowerPoint:


We made it through Hinduism (the first religion covered) today, and will keep going with learning about it next class. If you want to get ahead of the game at home, go ahead and check out the rest of the slides!

There is definitely a lot to learn about! We are going to keep moving forward with new material. If you are needing to improve your grade, please work hard on that, too! I am here to help! :-)

Historical Investigation, Day 7 - Class Recap


A tree with prayer flags on the Great Wall of China at Mutianyu. It was quite an experience to climb up to this point! There are multiple students studying an aspect of a Chinese revolution for their historical investigation. Photo taken in 2014.

Dear class,

Today was our last day working with the historical investigation in class (hooray!) which means there is a lot of work ahead before Friday, especially for students that did not have completed rough drafts today! Here's what we did today in class:

Learning Targets: 
Knowledge LT 19: I can explain the impacts of nationalism and revolutionary movements.
Communication LT 1: I can communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing.
Research LT 1: I can effectively conduct and apply research.
Critical Thinking LT 2: I can explain connections between events, issues, problems and concepts.
Behavior LT 1: I can manage my responsibilities as a student.

Soundtrack: "You've Got A Friend" by Carole King and James Taylor. Selected for today because a good friend doing a peer review helps a lot, and I wanted everyone to know I was going to try to help as much as possible to get you in a position to be successful on this project. Lyrics here.

AGENDA 4/12/17:
News Brief - Katelyn
Peer Review
Work Time
Conferences

Homework: Read the blog! Final draft of Historical Investigation is due at the start of next class (submitted on Google Classroom or printed if you cannot turn it in there). Next news brief: Daisy.
---
News Brief: Katelyn had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: TheGuardian.com - Japanese warships to join US fleet near North Korea as tensions rise. We found Japan in our world maps and talked about this ongoing story, and how it relates to the current tensions with North Korea. Thanks, Katelyn!

The next news brief was assigned to Dominick.

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):


Peer Review: Today's class was supposed to be focused on getting as many good peer reviews on your historical investigation as possible. Here was the sheet I passed out in class for people to use.


Make sure that you look to correct spelling and grammar, as well as the format issues!

Work Time: The rest of class was devoted to working on review or doing whatever possible on the historical investigation. Here is the final assignment, again, if you need to look at it:


Conferences: As students were working on review, I called every student that I could in the class up to talk about where they were at, what support was needed, what changes I saw needed to be done, or in some cases, just asking what in the world has been going on for the last month, since there was so little productivity to be seen. For many students, there is a LOT of work over these next couple of days to be done.

As always, if you are confused about what to do, please email me or comment and I would be happy to help. I suspect at this point most students know what to do - they just wanted to put it off until the very last moment to get it done. Well, that moment has arrived. Work hard to get this done, please. Thank you!

Wildcat News Brief - Halima
Rough Draft Expectations
Final Questions?
Work Time

Homework: Read the blog! Your Historical Investigation rough draft is due next class. Next news brief: Katelyn.
---
Wildcat News Brief: Halima had the news brief today and selected this article about this story to talk about: CNN.com - ISIS claims responsibility for Palm Sunday church bombings in Egypt. We found Egypt in our world maps and talked about this tragic story, including the response of the Egyptian government.

The next news brief was assigned to Katelyn.

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):


We finished the news brief by watching Wildcat News for the day. Here it is again to watch, if you missed class or wanted to see it again:



Rough Draft Expectations: Here's a copy of how you will be peer reviewing the Historical Investigation next class, which is so important to being able to turn in a good research paper:


Please be sure to bring in your Chromebook (or if you do not have a Chromebook, a printed version of your paper) at the start of class  so that we can peer review and I can have a look at it as well. I will call students up one by one in class so we can look at it together and I can go over any last changes that I am requesting. Make sure that you look to correct spelling and grammar, as well!

Final Questions? Here is the final assignment, again, if you need to look at it:


It seemed like students knew what they were doing at this point and wanted to get to work, so we started up work in class.

Work Time: The rest of class was devoted to working in class on the assignment, and I was happy to try and answer questions, as well as help as much as I could. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do! Almost done! Keep it up!

We found Russia in the world map, and talked about the recent history regarding protests in Russia and now this terrible event in St. Petersburg.

We also checked in about the weekend and what people were up to.

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 Halima.

Parts C and E/HI Questions? During the Russian Revolution unit, I passed out a guide to help with Part E (an OPVL analysis of the sources you used in your Part B research). The last part of your historical investigation is this analysis of your sources. It is page 5 on this document:


I explained that if you are not up to Part C (the conclusion, which is on page 4), you are behind schedule, but there is still time to make it up and I am here to help! Part B (all the research and finding good sources) is the most difficult part, for sure. Let me know if you are in need of help!

Work Time: The rest of class was devoted to working in class on the assignment, and I was happy to try and answer questions, as well as help as much as I could. I was really pleased by how hard everyone seemed to be working - I hope it is all coming together for you!

Have a great weekend! Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help you be successful!

Historical Investigation, Day 4 - Class Recap


Revolution Square, in Bucharest, Romania has this monument to King Carol I. The square is quite famous in Romanian history! Photo taken in 2013.

Learning Targets: 
Knowledge LT 19: I can explain the impacts of nationalism and revolutionary movements.
Communication LT 1: I can communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing.
Research LT 1: I can effectively conduct and apply research.
Critical Thinking LT 2: I can explain connections between events, issues, problems and concepts.

AGENDA 4/4/17:
News Brief/Spring Break - Mr. Fritz
Part B/D Peer Review
Part C
Work Time

Homework: Read the blog! Keep working on your Historical Investigation. If you do not have Parts A, B, and D at least as a rough draft, you are behind! Next news brief: Sava.
---
News Brief/Spring Break: I had the news brief today and talked about my Spring Break (showing lots of pictures), in South Korea! We found South Korea in the world map packet and talked about how the United States and South Korea are allies, and how North Korea doesn't really like us participating in military drills together. We checked in about Spring Break and what people were up to, as well.

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 Sava.

Part B/D Peer Review: There were many students who needed me to help them print their Part B documents, and it seemed like lots more who need to catch up with the rest of the class. If you have not finished the first draft of Part B and D, you are behind! Here's the peer review form/checklist that I passed out today to help with getting better:


It is your responsibility to get a great peer review and give one, too! It helps make everyone's work better. Please continue working on improving these sections!

Part C: For students who were done with Part B, I introduced Part C, which is the conclusion, where you answer your research question, now that you have found and used your sources of information in Part B. but it is on page 4 here:


We will continue to work on this next class! If you are on schedule with your historical investigation, these next two days in class will be spent wrapping up your work and refining your final paper.

Work Time: The rest of class was devoted to working quietly on the assignment, and I was happy to try and answer questions along with print off papers.

Thank you for your hard work - please let me know if there is anything else I can help with!
