After settling our own civilizations last week, students have began researching Central American countries to learn more about their geography, history, and culture.  Our next step is to take that research and create ads highlighting both the positive and negative attributes of our country.  To do so, students will be wrestling with two essential questions.

• How do you determine the quality of life in a given country?
• How can propaganda shape beliefs?

Here are due dates for this week.

Thursday:  Group slideshow due by 8am.  (Hopefully finished in class on Wednesday)

Monday:  Students should have scripts ready for filming.

Have a fantastic week!

Ps.  Given that class only meets three times this week and one time next week (fall trip and all school field day), this will be last Fast Food Nation update until October 2nd.
