World-Civics, 12th, Focus

World:  Great job deciphering the documents related to civilization.  As a result of the activity you should have a solid handle on what it takes to be a civilization while being able to produce some examples using Mesopotamia and Egypt.  You received an informative assessment to complete for Friday.  This INFORMATIVE is to be used as a study guide for Friday's QUEST.  See yesterday's blog post for your focus as you prepare and for details related to the format.  Review the material to date and begin preparing and completing the INFORMATIVE so that you are ready for Friday's Quest.  We will cover one final topic related to our current material tomorrow when we experience Jared Diamond's Guns Germs & Steel.
Civics:  Principles of Govt material was due today, you received credit.  Be sure to check yesterday's blog post for details about Friday's quest.  There are details and format information posted.  Nice job debriefing today.  Continue to review you material to date.  You were given a handout to day to use for part of chapter 2 in your text.  Actually 2.3-2.5: government systems & economic systems.  Complete that material for THURSDAY, you will receive credit and it is further application of what was covered today.  Remember to take control of YOUR learning journey.  We finished class by switching gears and addressing another preliminary step with health care for our public good focus. More on that tomorrow in class. For now, focus on reviewing the material to date and completing the systems assignment for Thursday.

12th Focus: Mentoring is on Friday. You completed mentoring training today and received mentor assignments.  Begin thinking about what your first mentoring experience will look like.  You also had a little more time to work on your career cruising.  If you have not turned in required forms (blue, yellow, green), please do so.  Next class is Thursday.
