Today, we played a game of Jeopardy in class. This weekend is the championships of another kind of game: the French Open. This is a picture I took in Paris at the French Open last year, when Rafael Nadal won.
Dear class,
Welcome to your last weekend of the 2013-14 school year at Westview! I had a lot of fun playing Jeopardy review with everyone! Here's the class recap for today:
Learning Targets:
SS.HS.KN.ALT.17: I can explain the process of change and continuity in a society, place or region.
SS.HS.KN.ALT.23: I can describe the influences, impacts and resolutions of historical conflicts.
Soundtrack: “My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark" by Fall Out Boy. Selected because it is pump up song for playing Jeopardy and because of nuclear fallout. Lyrics here.
AGENDA 6/6/14:
News Brief
D-Day
Jeopardy Review
Study Time
Homework: Review notes and PowerPoints for in class final on Wednesday. Read the blog! Last news brief: Ashton.
News Brief: Allison chose this story to talk about: CNN.com - Who is the student who pounced on the Seattle gunman? A hero, many say. This seems like it will continue to be a problem if nothing is done. It certainly will not just stop if we keep the present course.
D-Day: Since today is the 70th anniversary of the "D-Day" landings of Allied forces in Normandy, France, I wanted to talk a little bit about the importance of the day. Here are links to what we checked out in class (interrupted a bit by the fire drill):
Jeopardy Review: This is definitely my favorite way to prepare for an upcoming test. Again, the first four categories contain questions that will actually be on the semester final. The final will be 50 multiple choice questions along with one short essay prompt (that you will not be able to prepare for). Here is the PowerPoint again to review, if you want:

There are obviously questions on the final that are not on the review, and the review does not have the answers. If you want to study so that you know the information, most of the material (some of it will be from the day on 9/11 we did - see below for that) for the final will come from the following PowerPoints:
Phew! There you have it! Lots to review for next week. Our last class together is next Wednesday, from 7:45-9:15 for your final. Let me know if you have any questions I can answer!
Study Time: The rest of time in class (there was not a lot, due to the short schedule) was given as study time.
See you next week!
