I spent part of the long weekend in Minnesota and St. Louis, where much of my wife's family lives! This is a photo I took in 2015 at the Gateway Arch in St. Louis.

AGENDA 2/19/19:
News Brief - Michael
Cartoon Analysis
Business of America

News Brief: Michael had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: FoxNews.com - Jonas Brothers to reunite, release documentary and new music: report. After discussing the story, we also checked in to see if anyone was up to anything interesting or fun outside of class.
Jaida was assigned to do the next news brief.
Today's Black History Month fact is that on February 19, 1942 the Army Air Corps' all African American 100th Pursuit Squadron, later designated a fighter squadron, was activated at Tuskegee Institute. The squadron later served in England and Europe during WWII.
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):

Cartoon Analysis: Last class, we ended by looking at some political cartoons from the 1920s in class today. Here are the cartoons and the assignment that went with it:
We finished going through this analysis in class (if we did not last class). Please keep this to use later in the unit, as with all work with the 1920s!
Business of America: To continue our rhythm with this unit of notes then an activity, we looked at how business changed during 1920s America. The presentation we went through in class as students took Cornell Notes is here:
Through this presentation, we learned about the impact of mass advertising and new consumer products. The last slide in the presentation is directly connected to this assignment:

Students were assigned a product in class to create an advertisement for. If you missed class, you can select a product from the last slide to focus on. Next class, we will have a work day on this assignment, before it is due at the start of class on Monday, February 25. Hopefully, this is an interesting way of interacting with some of the historical content we have been going through!
