Today was the last day of class for the seniors at Westview! Therefore, a sunset picture above the clouds is appropriate. I took this on the way from California to Portland in 2007.
Hi everyone,
I hope you are feeling more clear about what to do for the final. Here's what we did today in class:

News Brief: Nikki had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: CNN.com - American woman killed by lion in South Africa identified. A tragic story of a woman on a safari. I want to visit South Africa and go on a safari at some point, so this is an eye opener. Thanks, Nikki.
We also watched VICE News for the day, before moving on.
The next news brief was assigned to Jurnee.
Final Overview: Yet again, I went over in class what the expectation is going to be on the day of the final, as well as what students should be writing/talking about:
I'm going to keep it simple and have students just focus on this. You should already know what learning targets you need to work on. Use the chart at the top of the second page to focus your writing/speech notes on the specific issues in the conflict. I know there were a lot of questions on this - please let me know if I can continue clearing this up!
Library/Textbooks/Work Time: For the rest of class, we went to the library to work on the final assignment - whether that is a speech, paper, or a combination of the two. This was the only time in class that we are going to have with the computers, so please keep working on it at home! Thanks, everyone!
