Dear class,
We are continuing to follow our plan of completing the 1920s/1930s Unit Project in 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 3/9/20:
News Brief - Kate
Culture of the 1930s
Unit Project
Work Time
News Brief: Kate had the news brief today, but was not in class at the start, so I filled in and selected an article about this story to talk about: NPR.org - Dow Dives 1,900 Points, NYSE Halts Trading As Stock Indexes Plummet. After discussing the story, we also checked in to see if anyone was up to anything interesting or fun outside of class.
Bopi 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):

Culture of the 1930s: Next, I had students take the last notes of this unit (I know there were a lot - thank you for your patience!), which were on technological innovation helping to shape culture in the 1930s:
Hopefully everyone saw some familiar movie titles and how the use of radio/film very much expanded during the 1930s!
Unit Project/Work Time: I introduced this last week - this is final project for the combined Roaring 20s/Great Depression Unit, which is viewable here (it is also assigned on Google Classroom):
This project involves a lot of student choice over the physical product, as well as a write up between 850-1000 words.
The rest of the class was quiet work time for this assignment - the next few classes will follow this same pattern of a bit of new content, then work time, before this assignment is due on Friday for Period 1. Please be sure to email me if you have any questions and I will try to get back to you ASAP!
