Today, we finished the religion unit in class - the last bit of fire has been extinguished on the unit! This is a photo of a pagoda in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, taken in 2011.
Dear class,
I did not anticipate the religion test taking quite so long today, but that's okay! I'm glad everyone worked hard and I am looking forward to grading them and getting them back to you soon. Here's what we did today in class:

Soundtrack: "Oye Como Va" by Carlos Santana. Selected for today because of it being Cinco de Mayo (remembering a famous Mexican victory over the French) and because Carlos Santana is an amazing Mexican-American guitarist. Lyrics here.
AGENDA 5/5/16:
News Brief – Jennifer
Religion Test
Demographics
Indicators
Religion Test
Homework: Read the blog! If you have not turned in your Historical Investigation, please do so immediately. Know your grade and how to improve it - Russian Revolution work (found on this post), World War I work (found in this post) and finishing Historical Investigation if you have not - revisions needed, as well. (if you want to turn in a revised copy, please give me the original graded copy for review, as well). Next news brief: Eric C.

News Brief: Jennifer had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: CNN.com - Fort McMurray fire: Some evacuees pack up again as blaze approaches. Jennifer downplayed this story, but it is a huge fire! Over 1,600 homes have been burned! We found Canada in our world maps and noted that we did a news brief about it. We also talked about the presidential campaign and the weekend for a bit.
The next news brief was assigned to Eric C.
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):
Religion Test: After the news brief, we started the test (I hope you did your homework and studied)! As I wrote above, I was a bit surprised by how long this took (close to the entire rest of the class), but that is okay. I'm glad students were taking their time and being thorough with their work. At the end of class, we graded the multiple choice section together.

Next class, we will start learning about demographics and go to the computer lab to do some research on different demographic indicators. Thanks for your hard work and focus today in class! Moving on to the last new learning target of the year!
Homework is done
