World-Civics-13th Seminar

World: We finished debriefing the Mulan Pak today and are ready for the film on Monday. Credit was given for the Cornell Notes, ch. 7, sec. 3.  Nice work discussing your evidence related to fall of empire from the text and your understanding. Great!  Review your material over the weekend.  We will begin again with fall of Empire on Monday.

Civics:  In class you were assigned team for the constitutional convention and given role sheets. We also went to the lab to do a little more research on the issues of suffrage and slavery. Over the weekend, spend a short amount of time finding a reading that you can print and share with your partner related to your assigned position and topic.  We will continue with the convention prep on Monday.  In the meantime, think about how you can get into character and who your allies and enemies are.

13th Sem:  Teach-In today.  Monday, meet in the classroom for debriefing and planning of what's ahead.
