Good morning guys and Happy Friday!

For today's classwork, I want you to work on your BHM "presentation" and update the google doc with any resources that you've used to find your information. This could be a news article, your youtube video link, etc. Even though you won't be going next week, I would like everyone to be done with their work by today to make it easy on all of us. You are more than welcome to create a Google Slides to organize your information if you wish to do so. For the those of you who already presented, thank you, but also I want you to create two multiple choice questions regarding your person that you've highlighted and include the answer choices (indicate the correct one) and email them to me. For those of you who aren't done, once you finish please also email me two questions as well! My email is [email protected]

Enjoy your weekend ya'll!

Happy Friday! Watch the videos and answer the questions on the Google Doc about how Gen Z feels about the election.

Write a letter to either President Joe Biden or Madam Vice President Kamala Harris with all the things that you hope they can work on for the next 4 years. Include issues that you think need to be fixed, laws that need to be passed, rules that should be overturned or changed, and how you, as a middle schooler, hope they can bring about change and fix all the damage that was done these past 4 years.

Using the document you created with your groups, fill out the questions on the document using the notes you took on the primary source you had.

Find a picture from the breach of Congress that took place on January 6th and paste it in the document
Answer the following questions:
Describe the photo in detail (what do you see, what is going on, who is involved, etc.)
What type of reaction does this photo make you have? (Think about emotions here: scared, angry, hateful, disgusted, etc. and WHY?)
What would you have done if you were in this picture? Why?
If you were President of the United States, how would you have reacted to the breach of Congress? Type up a mini speech below (about a paragraph long)

Group Work Competition

The right to assemble and speak out is written in the Constitution. But do rallies and civil disobedience really provoke policy changes?

Brown v. Board of Education is one of the most important Supreme Court cases ever decided, and is the reason all different types of children get to go to school together today. This court case is what the story of Ruby Bridges is based off of, if that rings any bells. Make sure to watch the view, read the background information, and answering the questions in complete sentences please.

Today is Election Day, and while you my friends are unfortunately not old enough to vote, your voice and opinion still matters - honestly, you could do a better job making a logical decision than most of my fellow American citizens out there. We have talked endlessly in class about the current social and political climate, as well as both of our presidential candidates, so I urge you to take this seriously and make a decision that would impact all of us as a whole. We are all aware that there is "perfect" candidate here, so make a choice that will cause the least bit of harm. May The Odds Be Ever In Our Favor.

Happy Friday! Watch the video and answer the questions IN COMPLETE SENTENCES PLEASE.

Watch the attached video and answer the reflection questions on the document in complete sentences please. Due by the end of the day!

We are going to be filling this chart out for class today and then working in breakout rooms to share our reflections on the different scenarios.

Salam,

For today's assignment, please watch the Youtube video and then answer the 10 questions on the Google Doc. If you have any questions, let me know!

Salams ya'll,

Here is your super easy assignment for today - have fun with it! If you have trouble editing the document to fill out the bubbles, just create your own or make it work - I'm flexible :)

Read the following personal identity essay and then answer the questions on the attached google doc in COMPLETE sentences please.

Here is your Friday Assignment! All of the instructions are on flip grid so make sure you read them thoroughly!

I know that I said our assignments on Fridays would be on current events, but I'm making an exception this week because I wanted to wrap up our conversation on privacy before moving on to next week.

I'm asking you to listen to the attached podcast titled "The Privacy Paradox" and then to answer the google doc questions in one of two forms: (1) You may choose to answer them on a google doc that you will attach to your assignment submission OR (2) You can record a flipgrid video of yourself answering the questions.

*The only questions you are answering are the ones that are under the heading of "AFTER Privacy Paradox Podcast"

Happy Friday!
