Before coming to Westview I worked at Marshall and Madison High Schools in Portland, for the "Step Up" program, which was largely after school tutoring and mentoring. This is a picture from one of the summer camps we did, which relates to the "StEPP" day, but your future after high school, too!
Hi everyone,
Today's class was almost entirely devoted to going to the Computer Lab with a Westview counselor to complete (or at least start) your StEPP Career Education objectives for 10th grade. Here's the recap:
Soundtrack: "Step in the Name of Love (Remix)" by R. Kelly. Selected because of the "step" connection! Lyrics here.
AGENDA 5/28/14:
Newspapers Back
StEPP (Computer Lab with Westview counselor)
Homework: All late/missing/incomplete/revised work due Friday (with the sole exception of the Cold War newspaper, which I am giving everyone another week to revise, if needed)! Read the blog! Next news brief: News brief: Lauren
Newspapers Back: No news brief today, due to me wanting to give you as much time as possible to complete the career ed materials in the Computer Lab. I did pass back all of the completed grades for the Cold War newspaper project, which I did over the weekend. Your grades should now be completely up to date and you should know what you need to work on!
Here's how I graded the rubric for the newspaper project (definitely come see me if you have further questions):
ALT.17 – Explain process of change and continuity
Describes specific events in editorial, in chronological order, with context of what is going on in the Cold War and how America is changing.
ALT.23 – Influences, impacts, and resolutions of historical conflicts
Depth of description/how well the newspaper describes what has happened in the Cold War up to the date of the newspaper.
ALT.05 – Support arguments with evidence
Range of examples for editorial on who is winning the Cold War, who is losing, why.
ALT.09 – Technological knowledge and innovation shaping society
Analyzes different technologies and their effects during the Cold War period, as appropriate for the time of the newspaper.
Thanks for your hard work on these! I had fun looking through them all! :-)
StEPP: The rest of class was spent with a Westview counselor in the Computer Lab, working on your career ed materials for 10th grade. You need to complete this in order to graduate, so if you did not finish in class, please do so ASAP at home, then turn it in to the career center! Thanks!
