Happy Wednesday,

The ballot question to remove English as Allentown’s official language failed yesterday 2-1. For now English will remain the official language of the City of Allentown.

Please open Milestone 3 Stepping Stone 1 - your practice questions. We will review the Civil War and then you will complete the practice and move on to the assessment.

Happy Monday.

Collect your notes from the front of the room.

You are ready to move on to the Milestone 2 Assessment in Task Dashboard. I will review the directions with you and you will work independently.

Happy Friday.

Today we complete the documentary All In: The Fight for Democracy.

1. Collect your notes from the front of the room.

2. After the film is over you will split into 2 groups:

• If your notes have a checkmark on top, you are ready to move on to the Milestone 2 Assessment in Task Dashboard. I will review the directions with you and you will work independently.

-If your notes have a star on top - please move to a table with a group of other students who also have a star. Working together, complete the notes in the packet. Show me when you are done so that you can move on to the Milestone 2 Assessment. I will be joining each of these tables to help.

Today we will be moving on from people who choose not to vote to people who are prevented from voting.

1. Collect a graphic organizer packet from the front of the room and review the questions. Be sure you have something to write with.

2. For the next 2-3 days we will be watching a film: All In: The Fight for Democracy. You will use the Graphic Organizer packet to take notes. Make sure your name is on the packet - leave it here each day and collect it again at the start of class.

Happy Friday

If you are eligible to register to vote and have not yet done so please see me TODAY! The voter registration deadline is Monday.

To prepare for today’s task, please form a circle for an opening discussion.

Today you will complete Milestone 2 Stepping Stone 1. This is a simple task - there are two readings and a worksheet to complete. Please turn this in by the end of class.

Have a great weekend!

Good morning students!

1. Today we are starting with our final discussion - Voting Rights in the US Territories. If you are joining in this discussion, please sit at the center table at the front of the classroom. Everyone else should be at the other tables in the room.

2. Once the discussion is done we will be splitting into 2 groups.

   If you participated in one of our 3 discussions, please work independently to complete and submit the Milestone 1 Stepping Stone 4 reflection.

   If you did not participate in any of the discussions (if you have an M for preparation/participation in the Milestone 1 Assessment), you will be working in a small group with me.

Jose M and Roberto - please see me - you are eligible to register to vote!

Good Morning,

We cannot proceed with our discussions today because most students did not follow instructions yesterday. Almost no one signed up for the discussion topic, and only 4 students submitted their preparation notes.

After reviewing the ELA 6 Continua today you will complete and submit your preparation notes.

Those students who already completed all of their work will have a free period to do whatever they need to do for any class.

Reminder - there is NO MISSING ALLOWANCE in your portfolios. You must fill 100% of your SS and ELA portfolios to graduate.

Happy Tuesday

1. Today we are moving on to Milestone 1, Stepping Stone 2. Please open the task in Task Dashboard.

2. By the end of class today, you should have chosen one of the 3 topics and signed up for that topic. Your preparation for the discussion should be done using the argument organizer, and is due before class starts on Thursday.

3. Many of you now have at least 2 missings in your portfolio because you have not yet turned in the Launch Milestone. You are responsible for completing this on your own time. Please see me if you need assistance.

4. I will be calling some of you up to review your PLPs with me.
