Given the ongoing government shutdown over the possibility of a border wall, this is a picture of me at the Berlin Wall in 2013.
Our last week before finals will mostly be working on the final presentation! Here's what we did today in class:

Behavior LT 3: I can work effectively within a team or group.
Communication LT 1: I can communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing.
Knowledge LT 16: I can explain the process of change and continuity in a society, place, or region.

Soundtrack: "Refugee" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Selected for today because many refugees have immigrated to the United States. Lyrics here.
AGENDA 1/15/19:
News Brief – Issac
Final Project
Work Time
Exit Ticket
News Brief: Issac had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: NYTimes.com - An Egg, Just a Regular Egg, Is Instagram’s Most-Liked Post Ever. After discussing the story, we also checked in to see if anyone was up to anything interesting or fun outside of class.
Faith 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):
Final Project: Last class, I introduced what the final project will look like for this semester (a group presentation due on finals day, or before, if the group wants to get it done with):
Groups were formed last week and immigrant groups were selected. Here is the list of groups:
Work Time: The rest of class was devoted to work time in researching the immigrant group the team selected, and continuing to create the presentations.
Exit Ticket: At the end of class, I passed out this survey of what has been done so far with the project for the group and what needs to be done, to help see what has happened so far:
Next class will probably be more of the same, as we wind down the semester and all late work is due! See you then!
