In the movie we watched part of today, Forrest Gump goes to Vietnam. This is a picture of me in Vietnam in 2011!
Hi everyone,
A random A day (with no corresponding B day afterwards) before finals, today. In fact, I get the pleasure of seeing you all tomorrow for our final! This is the finals schedule, if you missed it. Hopefully, you are here in the hopes of studying up. Here's the class recap for today:
Learning Targets:
SS.HS.KN.ALT.17: I can explain the process of change and continuity in a society, place or region.
SS.HS.KN.ALT.23: I can describe the influences, impacts and resolutions of historical conflicts.
Soundtrack: “Summertime Sadness" by Lana Del Rey and Cedric Gervais. Selected because it will soon be summer break (which is great), but I will also be sad not to see everyone all the time! Lyrics here.
AGENDA 6/9/14:
News Brief
Finals Questions
Movie Choice
Homework: Review notes and PowerPoints for your final tomorrow. Read the blog! Last news brief: Abbey.
News Brief: Andrew chose this story to talk about today: Forbes.com - Jobs Report: U.S. Economy Added 217K Jobs In May, Unemployment Remains Unchanged At 6.3%. I mentioned that we are back up to where we were with jobs before the Great Recession of 2008-9, but there are still millions of people that have joined the workforce since then that are looking for jobs. Thanks, Andrew!
I also mentioned the former Westview student who was killed as a part of a school shooting at Seattle Pacific University last week. Tragic.
Finals Questions: I am just going to copy and paste the previous section here, because it has all of the information you will need to study for the final (except for the 9/11 stuff, which is on the blog as well). The final will be 50 multiple choice questions along with one short essay prompt (that you will not be able to prepare for). Here is the Jeopardy PowerPoint again to review, if you want:

There are obviously questions on the final that are not on the review, and the review does not have the answers. If you want to study so that you know the information, most of the material (some of it will be from the day on 9/11 we did - see below for that) for the final will come from the following PowerPoints:
Again, lots to review for tomorrow!
Movie Choice: The choice was between Apollo 13 (which has to do with technology and the Space Race) or Forrest Gump (which gives a broad overview of many major events in American History). Both classes chose Forrest Gump, so we watched that until the end of class, as I made comments about how it related to what we learned this year. Thanks for your focus during this!
See you tomorrow, for our very last class this year together!
