Hi everyone,
Today was our last day of in class Computer Lab time for the Historical Investigation. Next class, the rough draft is due to be peer reviewed! Here's what we did today in class:

Soundtrack: "This Time is the Last Time" by Mae. Selected for today because it was the last time we went to the computer lab together as a class to work on the Historical Investigation! Lyrics here.
AGENDA 4/8/15:
News Brief - Tyler A.
Rough Draft Expectations
Final Questions?
Computer Lab S219

Homework: Read the blog! Printed copy of Historical Investigation rough draft due next class. Next news brief: Mary.

News Brief: Tyler A. had the news brief today and selected this article about this story to talk about: CNN.com - China declares war on 'forbidden game' of golf. I really dislike golf (it is so difficult and expensive), so this made me laugh a bit. I told my story of breaking at $400 golf club at a range in Hawaii when I was younger, too. We also talked about the story of a man in South Carolina being shot in the back by a police officer - the video of the incident came out and the officer is being charged with murder.
We also watched VICE News for yesterday (which included Russia wanting to say Stalin was a great leader again - wow!), before moving on.
The next news brief was assigned to Mary.
Rough Draft Expectations: Here's the copy of how you will be peer reviewing the Historical Investigation next class, which is so important to being able to turn in a good research paper:
Final Questions? Here is the final assignment, again, if you need to look at it:

Please be sure to bring in a printed copy at the start of class (I do not want a ton of students needing to print their papers out) so that we can peer review and I can have a look at it as well. I will call students up one by one in class so we can look at it together and I can go over any last changes that I am requesting. Make sure that you look to correct spelling and grammar, as well!
Final Questions? Here is the final assignment, again, if you need to look at it:
And here is an example of a historical investigation done by another student, which might help with formatting. The OPVL/Part C is different in this student paper, so ignore that aspect.
Computer Lab S219: The rest of class was devoted to working in the Computer Lab on the assignment, and I was happy to try and answer questions, as well as help as much as I could. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do!
