News Brief: Gaby had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: CNN.com - Trump meets with Theresa May. After discussing the story, we also checked in to see if anyone was up to anything interesting or fun outside of class.
Trennen was assigned to do the next news brief.
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):

Current Foreign Policy: Much of our time in the past couple of months has been spent analyzing what happened during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. Today, we learned more about what happened after, and current foreign policy. Here's the PowerPoint presentation that I went through in class:
Here is the sheet for notes that I passed out to the class:
As noted in the presentation near the end, we then turned our attention to current issues with the U.S. relationship with the world. There were a fair amount of handouts in class about this, which were all about current positions that President Trump has about the world. Students read these positions and attempted to summarize them into an overall statement.
Issues Assignment: To build on the work we did last class, the assignment related can be found here (it is also posted in Google Classroom if you would like to complete an electronic version):
The link referenced in the assignment can be found here:
The prompt for the assignment is: Based on your notes, and your definition of current foreign policy, decide what could become a major conflict or escalation for the United States. Make sure you support your claim with evidence.
Work Time: The rest of class (if there was any time) was devoted to work time on the conflict presentation - assigning roles for what to do, creating the presentation, etc. Here is the assignment for the United States conflict presentations, which is the final major project of the year (hopefully not too stressful, though):
Here is the PowerPoint that shows who is in what conflict presentation group:
Here is the calendar of what I think we will be doing for the rest of the year in American Studies, to help students plan. That calendar is linked here (and may be updated, so use the link over the paper copy you were given):
