Today, we played a game of Jeopardy in class. This weekend is the championships of another kind of game: the French Open. This is a picture I took in Paris at the French Open last year, when Rafael Nadal won.
Dear class,
Welcome to your last weekend of the 2013-14 school year at Westview! We had a much shorter class than usual today, due to the Senior assembly. I had a lot of fun playing Jeopardy review with everyone, though! Here's the class recap for today:
Learning Targets:
SS.HS.KN.ALT.17: I can explain the process of change and continuity in a society, place or region.
SS.HS.KN.ALT.23: I can describe the influences, impacts and resolutions of historical conflicts.
Soundtrack: “My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark" by Fall Out Boy. Selected because it is pump up song for playing Jeopardy and because of nuclear fallout. Lyrics here.
AGENDA 6/5/14:
News Brief
Jeopardy Review
Study Time
Homework: Review notes for upcoming in class final. Read the blog! Next news brief: Nadia.
News Brief: Riley chose this article to bring in and talk about with the class: CNN.com - Midwest braces for more storms after 4,300 cars pounded by hail. We also talked about the recent horrifying stabbing in Wisconsin, which was apparently related to the "Slenderman" creation online.
Jeopardy Review: This is definitely my favorite way to prepare for an upcoming test. Again, the first four categories contain questions that will actually be on the semester final. The final will be 50 multiple choice questions along with one short essay prompt (that you will not be able to prepare for). Here is the PowerPoint again to review, if you want:

There are obviously questions on the final that are not on the review, and the review does not have the answers. If you want to study so that you know the information, most of the material (some of it will be from the day on 9/11 we did - see below for that) for the final will come from the following PowerPoints:
Phew! There you have it! Lots to review for next week. On Monday, I would be happy to answer any questions you may have, and then we will probably watch part of a movie.
Study Time: The rest of time in class (there was not a lot, due to the short schedule) was given as study time.
See you next week! Our last week together this year!
