Focus: United States today, citizenship,rights and responsibilities.
Class Work: 3rd period students made a "Culture Salad" by drawing a bowl and placing in it items from our culture which were exclusively American (4th of July, and Thanksgiving) and also some cultural traditions from other countries such as food from China and Mexico, and Hallowe'en traditions from Ireland.
The class engaged in a lively, and at times passionate debate about the true nature of equal opportunity and how sometimes its hard for us to balance our responsibilities as citizens with our rights and in particular the rights of others!
7th Period students--completed the Chapter 4, Section 1 Assessment. Unfortunately they missed out on the culture salad activity.
Home work: Complete your "culture salad" if you didn't complete it in class! Turn it in tomorrow.
Tuesday: Quiz on Chapter 4 Sections 1 and 2.
