The sun has set on Semester 1 of the 2019-20 school year! Photo taken in Hawaii in 2011.

Soundtrack: "The Final Countdown" by Europe. Selected for today because of it being finals for our class! Lyrics here.
AGENDA 1/22/20:
News Brief – Ariel
Presentations
Class Feedback
News Brief: Ariel had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: CNN.com - Live Updates: Impeachment trial of President Trump. After discussing the story, we also checked in to see if anyone was up to anything interesting or fun outside of class.
Joshua 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):
Presentations: During this part of class, students presented on the immigrant groups they selected. I first asked for volunteers, then drew randomly. Here's the assignment again:
Here is the list of groups that presented:
Finally, here is the sheet for notes that I passed out to the class:
Class Feedback: The last part of class was given to answering questions about how class is going for everyone so far (the survey link was on Google Classroom). The questions are:
1) What do you like about this class? What is this class good at?
2) What does the class need to get better at/improve at doing?
3) What do you like about Mr. Fritz as a teacher?
4) What can Mr. Fritz improve at doing as a teacher?
Hopefully, students had substantive feedback to give for each part! This was anonymous, to allow for students to write freely. I will analyze these results and get back to everyone at the start of next semester! Have a great rest of the week!
