"Night" Theme Work - Class Recap


Today in class, we talked about "Night" themes! This is a photo of Long Beach, California at night.

Hello everyone,

We looked at "Night" themes today in class, as a connection to the recent Holocaust unit and what you are doing in Mr. Puterbaugh's class! Here's what happened in class today:

Learning Targets:
Knowledge LT 17: I can explain how and why world societies organize themselves and how power is established and maintained.
Behavior LT 1:  I can manage my responsibilities as a student.
Behavior LT 2:  I can self-direct my learning.
Behavior LT 3: I can communicate and work effectively within a team or group.

Soundtrack: "Another Brick in the Wall (Part II)" by Pink Floyd. Selected for today because we took down the wall between the two classrooms! Lyrics here.

AGENDA 1/22/18:
News Brief – Jackson
Final Overview
"Night" Theme Work

Homework: Read the blog. Continue preparing for all of your finals! Next news brief: Sebastian.

News Brief: Jackson was not in class, so I filled in and selected an article about this story for the news brief today: BBC.com - Mysterious Dead Sea Scroll deciphered in Israel. We talked about this story for a little bit and found Israel in our world maps, before moving on.

Sebatian was selected to do the next news brief.

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 Overview: We talked briefly about what your final for the class will be, as well as when it will be, before moving on.

"Night" Theme Work: After the news brief, we spent the day looking at your book for Lit and Comp! Here is the lesson on "Night" themes that we went through, as we had students working in small groups to identify themes and quotes from specific chapters:


Next class, we will get back to preparing for the Global Studies final. See you on Wednesday!
