Civics: Today we continued with the commercials. We will wrap those up tomorrow, view the commercials and debrief the homework related to your evaluation of news from last night's (2nd debate). After that, we discuss the remaining issues from debate 1 so that we can more on to the proposals. Be sure you are using your time to educate yourself on the issues by listening, reading and paying attention to the media. Use the skills and methods you know to help with your understanding.
Focus: The Franklin post should be completed and you can work on one final post. Tomorrow is the final day of the Critical Issues Strand. Be sure to comment on your peer posts.
13th Seminar: Today we did a lot of housekeeping related to college applications, internships, and this week's team building. (Meet in your focus classroom on Friday, 11:00) We will go to the Smith for a presentation from our Asst. Superintendent, and then return to our classrooms for mentoring. Be sure to apply your newly learned mentoring skills.
World: Today we wrapped up rise of religion and began to set the stage for spread of religion. We debriefed DR. EASE for Christianity. You received a handout (posted on website) and we again viewed the 90 sec spread of religion from (Maps of War). If you need to view the spread again, Google maps of war and or go the website for the link. It was linked last week. For this evening, complete parts I and II on the handout. Remember that there is a back with six questions for you to respond to related to the maps. You will receive credit for this tomorrow.
