Civics: Today we assigned glogster accounts so we will be ready to begin work on our glogsters related to the Michigan Ballot proposals. We also had a little time to view a highlight of the 2nd presidential debate. A main talking point was equality for women in the work place. We pointed out that this topic is critical because the women's vote in the election will be very significant. In addition, the discussion targeted women are are undecided voters. The candidates position on that issue alone could be a game changer.
Over the weekend, get caught up. Finish watching and identifying the issues from the first debate. Grab a parent or elder to sit with you to watch and help you decipher the meaning of the content.
Next week (either Thursday or Friday), there will be a quiz that covers the persuasive ad techniques in chapter 9, the activity we did with Mr. Stockdill, and the platform issues discussed in debates. On Monday, the final presidential debate is being held. The topic is foreign policy.
Many of you did not bring your 3x5 card related to your assigned proposal. Look up that information so you are prepared on Monday. When considering the proposal assigned to you, THINK! Do you know the difference between referendum and constitutional amendment? Do you know and understand the details about the proposal. Ask questions, dig for answer.
Focus: Today was our last focus strand together. Monday you will see me for the base check in, then head to Mrs. R. Vinter for personal leadership. Thanks for an enlightening 6 weeks. Again, I appreciate the feedback you provided yesterday.
13th Sem: Today was mentoring and town hall. We only began debriefing the mentoring activity. More on respect next time. Class on Monday. Remember, attendance is mandatory.
World: Today we debriefed the video segment using the significant vocabulary and the factors that caused religion to spread chart related to Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam.. We also discussed the segment debriefing questions.
Over the weekend for HOMEWORK: Complete part III, the Missionaries reading and complete six questions that connect the reading. You should also take the time to review the material on religion. particularly the rise of religion and now the spread. Dive into the tenants about the religions we have covered (still have to cover Islam to some extent), and review the rise of empire.
