The sun is setting on the Rwanda unit! Hopefully it had a great impact on you. Next week, we will move on to the last (shorter) unit before finals! Photo taken in Washington, 2009.
Dear class,
Today was spent continuing to watch Hotel Rwanda as we close down the unit. Just one more day left! Here's what happened in class today:
Learning Targets:
Knowledge LT 20: I can identify the critical components of imperialism.
Behavior LT 2: I can self-direct my learning.
Soundtrack: "Million Voices" by Wyclef Jean. Selected for today because it is a powerful song from the Hotel Rwanda soundtrack. Lyrics here.
AGENDA 1/10/17:
News Brief - Sammy
Hotel Rwanda
Movie Assignment
Make Up/Late Work
News Brief: Sammy had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: NYTimes.com - Bombings Near Afghanistan’s Parliament Kill Dozens on Day of Assaults. We talked for a while in class about Afghanistan and found it in the world map packet, before continuing on.
Jimmy was selected to do the next news brief.
We also watched the one minute BBC World News update. Here's the link to see the latest one minute update, at any time of day (it will probably be different from what we watched in class):
Hotel Rwanda: We stopped about 1:31 in today. Here is the worksheet of questions to answer as we watched:
Next class, we will finish watching the movie and prepare for finals!
Make Up/Late Work: We didn't have time in class to check in about grades on a 1-1 basis. I will try to find time to do so soon! Grades have been updated on StudentVUE, as well. Please know what you need to be working on to improve your grade.
