News Brief - Brinley
Presentation Rubrics
Work Time
Homework: Read the blog! Continue working on your conflict presentation! All late/missing/revised work is due next Friday! Next news brief: Haddie.Work Time
News Brief: Brinley had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: CNN.com - A flamingo in an Illinois zoo had to be put down after a child threw a rock at it. After discussing the story, we also checked in to see if anyone was up to anything interesting or fun outside of class.
Haddie 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):

Presentation Rubrics: As noted on the calendar, we walked through the rubrics attached to the conflict presentation, which has now been posted on Google Classroom for students to see (in addition to the links below). As I stated in class, I am approaching the grades for the final project as an opportunity to maintain or improve your overall grade in class, unless you do not contribute your best effort to your group and/or do not show up for finals.
Work Time: The rest of class was devoted to work time on the conflict presentation - assigning roles for what to do, creating the presentation, etc. Here is the assignment for the United States conflict presentations, which is the final major project of the year (hopefully not too stressful, though):
Here is the PowerPoint that shows who is in what conflict presentation group:
Here is the calendar of what I think we will be doing for the rest of the year in American Studies, to help students plan. That calendar is linked here (and may be updated, so use the link over the paper copy you were given):
