Sept 25 - 30, 2017
Xlandia
The students will present their Xlandia projects on Tuesday. Each group has to have a presentation and a white paper. I am so excited to see what they have come up with. During the project, we have researched some of the Federalist papers and we have an overview of all 3 branches of government. We have learned what federalism is, and have learned of the Bill of Rights. I am hoping to see some awesome and creative projects!
This week
We will present the Xlandia projects. Wednesday may be an overflow day for presentations. Students will do peer evaluations to make sure everyone pulled their own weight. On Thursday, we are going to have a current events discussion and talk about both sides of the NFL controversy. The students have been wanting to talk about it so we will debate it (civilly) and they will support their view from a Constitutional standpoint
Voice of Democracy
This is a scholarship offered by the VFW. Every student will complete the written portion for my class as a test grade. If they want to enter into the contest I will help them record it and collect entries. Please remind your student to do this.

Please remember you can see everything your child is doing in all their classes on Schoology. Login at westisd.schoology.com If you need your login information, please email me at tsnook@westisd.net
Scholarships
I have posted a folder on Schoology with scholarship opportunities for the students. This will hopefully help as they look for money to assist them with college. Please let me know if you have any questions, or if you know of additional scholarships I can have them apply for. If you know of other scholarships I can post, please let me know.
