Today in Sociology we worked to see the connection between the media and culture. We did some pre-writing and then watched some video footage. After the video, we then did some additional writing. I have attached the assignment for those who were gone.
Heres the link you need.
Today in government we answered the summative questions that correspond to what we have done so far this semester. If you were absent, you will need to schedule that make up with either myself or Mrs. Hartman upon your return. After the summative, we finished our Bill of Rights lesson.
