This photo is from Brenda Renning, who is our Westview tech support person. She wrote to me saying: "I have deep Clatsop Indian roots. The girl standing is my great grandmother and her grandmother is seated on the bottom right. We figure my great grandmother's great grandmother was 2 when Lewis and Clark were there."
Hello everyone,
Welcome to your weekend! We continued our investigation of Native American issues and history as we focused more on native Oregonians. Here's what we did today in class:
Learning Targets Addressed:
Behavior LT 3: I can communicate and work effectively within a team or group.
Critical Thinking LT 5: I can justify and support arguments or interpretation with appropriate evidence.
Soundtrack: "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" by Green Day. Selected for today because of the connection to the documentary "Broken Treaties" that we watched today.

AGENDA 10/17/19:
News Brief - Rachel
Broken Treaties
Discussion
Map Activity
We also checked in to see if anyone was up to anything interesting or fun outside of class this weekend.
Ethan was selected 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):
Broken Treaties: Next, we watched a fantastic OPB documentary called Broken Treaties, which came out last year. This documentary does a really good job at providing historical context for the displacement of native Oregonians, as well as some current issues of the day. Here is the link to watch the documentary, if you missed class or wanted to see it again:
Here is the link to the worksheet of questions that students were responding to in class (which is mostly in chronological order):
We did not finish going through all of the questions in class today, so we will pick back up and discuss this next class, as we continue our Native American unit. Have a great weekend, everyone!
