One of the ways culture both reflects and shapes society is through religion. This is a church in Budapest, Hungary, in 2013. I just loved the lighting here! No special effects!
Dear class,
We are almost done with the Culture unit! One more day of DBQ writing to go. Here's what happened today:

Behavior LT 1: I can manage my responsibilities as a student.
Soundtrack: "Get Ready for This" by 2 Unlimited. Intended as a pump up song to begin writing the DBQ essay today in class! Here's a link to the version I played in class, from ESPN's "Jock Jams" CD.

News Brief: Andrew had the news brief today, but was not in class, so I filled in and selected an article about this story to talk about with the class: WashingtonPost.com - Five old friends from Argentina reunited in New York. They died together in a terrorist attack.. We found Argentina in the South America map and talked for a bit in class about what happened with the terrorist attack in New York City yesterday. We also checked in about what people were up to outside of class this weekend.
Emmanuel M. was selected to do the next news brief.
