Dear class,
I hope you did well on the states and names quiz today! We also continued our work at analyzing Native American issues. 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: "Say My Name" by Destiny's Child. Selected for today because of the names quiz with everyone in class! Lyrics here.

AGENDA 10/4/18:
News Brief - Everett
Names/States Quiz
30 Days
We also checked in about the weekend to see if anyone was up to anything interesting or fun outside of class.
Tanish 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):
Names/States Quiz: After the news brief, we took the quiz on the first names of everyone in class, using the picture slideshow that I put together of everyone (this will not be available online due to student confidentiality). Then, the back side was a quiz on the 50 states in the United States and how to spell them accurately. We corrected this in class and then I collected them - this will go into the grade book as a behavior target.
30 Days: Next, we finished watching 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):
We ended class with just a few minutes left in this, so we will finish next time.
Our next class meeting is Monday, which is Indigenous People's Day in Oregon, so we will definitely be honoring the day by learning a lot more about Native Oregonian history. See you then!
