I am going to bet that many students wrote that one of the ways culture both reflects and shapes society is through religion. This is a church in Budapest, Hungary, in 2013. I just loved the lighting here! No special effects!
Dear class,
Hooray! You are finally done with the DBQ final essay for the culture unit! Everyone did a great job of focusing during class and I am excited to start looking into how everyone did. Here's what happened today:
Learning Targets:
Communication LT 1: I can communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing.
Critical Thinking LT 1: I can explain multiple perspectives and viewpoints.
Knowledge LT 15: I can explain how culture both reflects and shapes society.
Behavior LT 1: I can manage my responsibilities as a student.
Soundtrack: "Get Ready for This" by 2 Unlimited. Intended as a pump up song to write the DBQ essay today in class! Here's a link to the version I played in class, from ESPN's "Jock Jams" CD.
AGENDA 11/4/16:
News Brief - Camille
Write DBQ Essay
SSR/Quiet Work Time
Homework: Read the blog. Enjoy your weekend if you are done with everything!
Next news brief: Makayla.
News Brief: Camille had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about with the class: BBC.com - Jordan shooting: US military trainer killed at air base. We found Jordan in the Middle East map and had a good discussion in class about why the United States sometimes involves itself in other countries. We also checked in about what people were up to outside of class this weekend. I am heading down to Los Angeles tomorrow for the weekend!
Makayla was selected to do the next news brief.

Write Essay: Today was almost entirely devoted to writing the essay portion of the culture DBQ. We began this process last class, with this handout going through the steps to writing a DBQ:
We had about an hour in class to be writing, with finishing up the document analysis, and writing the essay. This was due at the end of class. I hope it went well for everyone!
Have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteI have my art thing to present but we haven't had time you won't grade me down for that right?
Hi Ranger,
DeleteI will put in an N in the grade book until it is presented, if I put in any grade at all. No, being presented late will not impact the grade.
