News Brief: Hailey had the news brief today, but was not in class, so I filled in and selected this article about this story to talk about: CNN.com - ISIS claims responsibility for Palm Sunday church bombings in Egypt. We found Egypt in our world maps and talked about this tragic story, including the response of the Egyptian government.
The next news brief was assigned to Leah.
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):
Rough Draft Expectations: Here's a copy of how you will be peer reviewing the Historical Investigation next class, which is so important to being able to turn in a good research paper:
Final Questions? Here is the final assignment, again, if you need to look at it:

Please be sure to bring in your Chromebook (or if you do not have a Chromebook, a printed version of your paper) at the start of class so that we can peer review and I can have a look at it as well. I will call students up one by one in class so we can look at it together and I can go over any last changes that I am requesting. Make sure that you look to correct spelling and grammar, as well!
Final Questions? Here is the final assignment, again, if you need to look at it:
It seemed like students knew what they were doing at this point and wanted to get to work, so we started up work in class.
Work Time: The rest of class was devoted to working in class on the assignment, and I was happy to try and answer questions, as well as help as much as I could. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do! Almost done! Keep it up!
