I will be gone at the state tennis tournament today (Friday) for Westview! This photo is of my favorite tennis player, Roger Federer, playing in Eugene, Oregon.
Dear class,
I really appreciate your hard work today in class, in advance, as we had a work day to wrap up the demographics unit and check in about grades in order to improve them by next Thursday, if possible. Here's what we did today in class (with the sub and Eli leading the way):

News Brief: Trevor had the news brief today and (possibly) selected an article about this story to talk about: CNN.com - EgyptAir Flight 804: Wreckage found, airline official says. We found Egypt in the world map packet and talked about this story, as it was breaking news as of this morning. It does sound like some of the wreckage has been found now.
Here's the link to see the latest one minute BBC World News update, at any time of day (it will probably be different from what we watched in class):
The next news brief was assigned to _____.
Demographics Work: The rest of class was spent as work time (hopefully you were able to turn in the whole packet today) for the demographics packet:

Google Drive: Demographics Development Indicators
Students needed to find the statistics for countries on the CIA World Factbook (some of the statistics might be found from other sources, too).
The next assignment was related to the Children of Syria documentary in class.
Here is the assignment that I passed out with the movie:
Here is a link to watch the documentary, if you missed class, or wanted to watch it again at home with your family. An hour really well spent:
Next, we did the End of Poverty reading and assignment last class:

And here is the video we watched in class:
All four of the assignments, in order, were what was due today in class. I appreciate your work on this!
Grade Check: As students were working, I was hoping the sub and Eli would talk with everyone in class one by one, so they could go over every grade, along with what was missing (if anything) and needing to be turned in or revised by next week. You should have a plan of action for this weekend, if you need to do work for me! If you have everything in, rest up and get ready for the final unit of the year, which we will start next week! Have a great weekend, everyone!
