I was at the state tennis tournament over the weekend for Westview! This photo is of my favorite tennis player, Roger Federer, playing in Eugene, Oregon.

News Brief: Madison had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: BBC.com - India schoolgirls on hunger strike to fight sexual harassment. We found India in the world map packet and talked about this story, as well as the importance of taking a stand against harassment.
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):
The next news brief was assigned to David.
Demographics Work: The rest of class was spent as work time (hopefully you were able to turn in the whole packet today) for the demographics packet:

Google Drive: Demographics Development Indicators
Students needed to find the statistics for countries on the CIA World Factbook (some of the statistics might be found from other sources, too).
The next assignment was related to the Children of Syria documentary in class.
Here is the assignment that I passed out with the movie:
Here is a link to watch the documentary, if you missed class, or wanted to watch it again at home with your family. An hour really well spent:
Next, we did the End of Poverty reading and assignment last class:

And here is the video we watched in class:
All four of the assignments, in order, were what was due today in class. I appreciate your work on this!
Grade Check/Work Time: As students were working, I called everyone in class up to talk with me, one by one, so I could go over every grade, along with what was missing (if anything) and needing to be turned in or revised ASAP. You should have a plan of action for what you need to do, if you need to do work for me! If you have everything in, rest up and get ready for the final unit of the year, which we will start next class!
