Monday 9/12-Friday 9/16: This week was work time for the Native American Presentation Project (see the Early Native Americans PP for the notes, and the Native American Project worksheet for the directions for the project). We will begin presentations on Monday, 9/19.
Friday 9/9: Today we took brief notes on Native Americans in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). I then introduced the Native American Presentation Project. We will have work time Monday-Friday of next week. Thursday 9/8: Today we critically read The New Yorker's "The Really Big One". You had to create two-three possible discussion questions to share with the class. The critical reading and the discussion questions will go in a homework packet. Wednesday 9/7: Today we had two current event presentations, went over the map activity, and then took a pre-test to see what we know about the Pacific Northwest. Make-ups can happen during class tomorrow, or Wednesday morning in my office, room 2410K. Tuesday 9/6: Today we worked on the Pacific Northwest maps. These are due tomorrow! Friday 9/2: Today we read an article called "Giving Seattle the Needle", and we started a Pacific Northwest map activity. Both assignments and the PowerPoint (called Northwest Studies Intro PP) can be found by clicking on the green links. Thursday 9/1: Today was all about getting back to school. We went over the syllabus (due Friday 9/9), and did a notecard activity to get to know each other. We then did a brainstorming session about what we know about the Pacific Northwest.
