This weekend is the graduation ceremony 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: Shriyan had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: WashingtonPost.com - Saudi Arabia soccer team apologizes for declining moment of silence for England terrorist attacks. We found Saudi Arabia in the world map and talked about why this event might have happened, before moving on to check in about the weekend.
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):
Final Questions: 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!
Work Time: For the rest of class, we worked on the final assignment - whether that is a speech, paper, or a combination of the two. We also took back all of the textbooks in the room to the library. If you have a Modern World History textbook or atlas, please bring it back to school ASAP!
Thanks, everyone! Keep working hard on this! Almost there!

Check In: After the news brief, I had students turn to each other and check in about how the end of the year was feeling, in terms of stress and finals. It's important to take care of one another during stressful times! I had a few students share out about how they were doing, too. Please know that I am here for you! Let me know how I can support you, both now and into the future! Yes, I will still be that teacher in four years, saying hello to you when I see you in the halls!
