Dear class,
We continued our work with analyzing Native American issues today, as well as understanding current context. 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: "All Along the Watchtower" by Jimi Hendrix. Selected for today because of Hendrix's Native American ancestry and the song represents a variety of different perspectives. Lyrics here.

AGENDA 10/8/19:
News Brief - Rochelle
Finish Appropriation
30 Days
Early Expansion
We also checked in about the weekend to see if anyone was up to anything interesting or fun outside of class.
Hannah 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):
Finish Appropriation: Last class, we learned about the terms cultural appropriation, exploitation, and assimilation, and tried to identify examples within the Native American context. I wanted to be sure students remembered this as we go further with these issues.
30 Days: Next, we watched the episode of the TV documentary series "30 Days" that was titled "30 Days on an Indian Reservation" and noted current issues that were brought up that Native Americans are facing in the episode, as well as evidence. This was done on the second page of this handout (which was passed out last class):
After the documentary, we debriefed together and tried to consider what issues were coming up in current Native American society. Please hold on to this, as well as any other handout or assignment from this unit, as you will be using it for a final unit assessment for both me and Mr. Puterbaugh (if you have him as your Lit and Comp 10 teacher).
Early Expansion: At the end of class, we started going through a PowerPoint explaining some of the necessary background information for understanding how the United States expanded and took over Native American territory. Here's the presentation (which we will finish next class):
And here is the note taking guide that I gave to students in class:
We ended class with the Missouri Compromise slide. This hopefully was review for many students who should have had this information in middle school, but I know that not everyone did. Please use the note guide and add to the notes with what was discussed in class (which was much more in depth than just the text on the slides).
That was it for the day! Thank you, everyone!
