Today is the State of Oregon's 160th birthday! This is a photo I took at Trillium Lake by Mt. Hood. I have no idea who the boy fishing is, but loved the scene.
Dear class,
We continued our unit on the "Roaring" 1920s in class and celebrated Oregon's birthday! Here's what happened in class today:

Work Time
News Brief: Esther had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: BBC.com - FBI releases serial killer Samuel Little's drawings of victims. After discussing the story, we also checked in to see if anyone was up to anything interesting or fun outside of class.
Michael was assigned to do the next news brief.
Today's Black History Month fact is that on February 14, 1817 (202 years ago exactly), Frederick Douglass (who was a black intellectual and abolitionist, born into slavery and who taught himself to read) was born.
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):

Politics of the 1920s: We started this section by watching some of the scandals that were a part of President Harding's administration in the early 1920s (including the famous Teapot Dome scandal):
To continue our dive into learning about various aspects of the 1920s, we went through this PowerPoint together as students took Cornell Notes:
We finished the presentation in class, and made a summary of notes (using the Cornell Notes process). As I said in class, you will be using all of your notes from this unit (and the Great Depression) to write a final in class essay, in a Documents Based Question format.
Cartoon Analysis: As the end of the slideshow indicates, we also looked at some political cartoons from the 1920s in class today. Here are the cartoons and the assignment that went with it:

As the PowerPoint above states, students were partnered up to analyze one cartoon together, then they joined another partnership who did the other cartoon, in order to share out their analysis. This is what we spent the rest of the class on today - please keep your completed analysis to use later in this unit! Have a great long weekend!
