Civil Rights, Day 9 - Class Recap

The view over Queenstown, New Zealand. This place was stunningly beautiful and reminded me of the good life that we have when we learn about the world! Photo taken on February 3, 2014.

Hello everyone,

I think we probably could have finished the activism project with one less day of work in class, but at least this way, your projects should be fantastic for Thursday! Here's what we did today.

Learning Targets Addressed:
SS.HS.KN.ALT.17: I can explain the process of change and continuity in a society, place or region.
SS.HS.KN.ALT.19: I can explain the role and impacts of social hierarchies.
SS.HS.CO.ALT.01: I can organize ideas in a logically sequenced manner and in a way that is appropriate to the content area.

Soundtrack: "Good Life" by OneRepublic. Selected because we are hoping to promote good lives for everyone through this project. Lyrics here.

AGENDA 4/8/14:
News Brief
Library Time
Finish Activism Projects

Homework: Have the activism project done and ready to show next class. Read the blog! Next news brief: Allison.

News Brief: Alicia had the news brief today and selected this article to talk about: FOXNews.com - About 100 arrested in Southern Calif. brawl. Wow, it sounds like things got really out of hand! I talked about the riot that happened when the UConn men's basketball team won the National Championship last night. I wonder what will happen there if the UConn women win tonight!

Library Time: This was the last time in class available to work on the activism project. We used the computers in the library to try and find sources of information for it (remember that you need three total, cited in MLA format on a separate sheet of paper). Hopefully, everyone is feeling good about working on the elements of the project. There is poster paper and printer paper in the room, as well. Please come prepared for next class! You will be expected to share with others, no matter what state your poster or brochure is in.

Finish Activism Projects: I saw some really great examples during class today. I think this could be pretty great, if everyone keeps working hard on finishing it! Let me know if you need help!

See everyone on Thursday, with your finished projects, please!

  1. What happens if we don't have our Activism Project done by tomorrow?

    1. You will still need to present your ideas to your fellow classmates in a 1 on 1 setting, so it would be good if you had something to share. Also, I may add that you have had PLENTY of time in class to work on this project - more so than I think was needed.
