Tomorrow is "Pi Day" (3.14...), so here's a picture of one of my favorite pies in Portland: Guava Cheesecake at Pambiche Cuban Restaurant!
Hi everyone,
It was a short Wednesday together, but we managed to get plenty of prep work done on the DBQ, which we will finish next class. Here's what happened in class today:
It was a short Wednesday together, but we managed to get plenty of prep work done on the DBQ, which we will finish next class. Here's what happened in class today:
Learning Targets Addressed:
Knowledge LT 8: I can identify how technological knowledge and innovation shapes a society, place, or region.
Critical Thinking LT 5: I can justify and support arguments or interpretation with appropriate evidence.
Communication LT 1: I can communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing.
Research LT 1: I can effectively conduct and apply research.
AGENDA 3/13/19:
News Brief - Oreana
Graphic Organizer
DBQ Analysis
Work Time
News Brief: Oreana had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: Barrons.com - Dollar Tree Finally Gets Serious About Family Dollar, But the Stock Looks Pricey. After discussing the story, we also checked in to see if anyone was up to anything interesting or fun outside of class.
Zayn was assigned to do the next news brief.
I also mentioned this story that came out yesterday: OPB.com - Oregon Senate OKs Requiring Holocaust Education In Schools. Students in my Global Studies classes learned about genocide and the Holocaust last year, so it was cool to see that everyone remembered (including remembering about Auschwitz).
As part of the 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):

Graphic Organizer: The next part of class was spent looking at the DBQ assignment together, and brainstorming how to respond to the question, with what evidence. To help with that, I posted the DBQ assignment in Google Classroom for students (paper copies were available in class if students preferred), and we looked at this past graphic organizer we have used as a possibility to help:
Again, paper copies of this were available in class. The DBQ packet had another option for students to use, as well.
DBQ Analysis: For the rest of class, students used their notes and documents A-H from the packet we have used the last two classes, to prepare their answer to the DBQ. The documents (also available on Google Classroom) are here:
The first page of the linked document was passed out as a physical copy in class. This physical copy will be due on Friday as a part of the grade for the DBQ.
Here's the schedule for the DBQ:
Friday, March 15 - Write and submit DBQ essay in class. Use of all notes/activities from the 1920s and Great Depression units is allowed!
Next class will probably be your last DBQ of the year - I hope everyone is feeling ready to be done!
