Good afternoon folks! If you weren't in class today, here's what you missed:
We moved on to Part 2 of "The 90s and the New Millennium" today which deals with the Clinton, Bush, and Obama years. We will have very limited time tomorrow to complete this lesson, so not to worry - anything that we don't have time to cover will not appear on the final.
Homework:
Respond to the QOTD (due tomorrow)

Good afternoon folks! Welcome to our last instructional class together! It's been a pleasure to work with you this year. If you weren't in class today, here's what you missed:
We handed out a Simulation Rubric for tomorrow's activity which shows how you will be graded.
We began today's class with a HOMEWORK CHECK of the QOTD listed above. If you were absent today, please send me your QOTD response before midnight tonight! We will have our QOTD discussion at the beginning of Monday's class.
Next, we completed our examination of Part 2 of "The 90s and the New Millennium" which deals with the Clinton, Bush, and Obama years. If we were unable to cover everything in this lesson by the end of your class, don't worry, anything that we didn't have time to cover will not appear on the final.

May 31, 2019: Question of the Day: No QOTD today!
Happy Friday folks! Allow me to congratulate everyone on their performance in today's simulations. I know how difficult it can be to put yourself in the spotlight and defend an argument - perhaps even one that you don't personally agree with. I was so pleased to see most everyone get something out of the experience today, especially those who found that they could now relate to a different perspective. Step out of your comfort zone as often as you can! It's exactly at such moments that you are learning and growing as a person.
Homework:
Study for your Final Test!
Reminder:
Email me a snapshot of your QOTD - again, my bad, I forgot to check them yesterday. :(
Come to school next week with your game face on - we've got two days of JEOPARDY coming at ya! :)
Have a lovely, relaxing weekend everyone!
Best, Ms Hynes
