Learning Target

Activator


Questionnaire: Do you think your parents/guardian should make all the rules around the house? When should they stop? 16, 17, 18, 19?
What if you move back in with them after high school, or even college? When should the rules stop? Or should they even stop?

How does our journal relate to Imperialism?


Work Session
Look at the Freedom Meme. What is going on here? Why do we say thing? Why was this made?

Today we are going to look at real world examples of imperialism that still goes on today. And even that happened 10-15 years ago!
Someone tell me what they know about the Iraq War? What about what happened with Afghanistan? Is it important? We are going to look at how our military is shrinking and also read about how Costa Rica doesn't even have a military.

Let's read about what is going on with our military. First, do you guys think we need a military?

Now, after talking about Military, lets move to Cuba. Anyone have anything to say about Cuba? What about the movie, "the Interview"? Do you think that someone having total control is okay? Let’s look!
