We began class today with a discussion about the U.S. military and our involvement in the affairs of other nations.  I posed the following statement to the class:

Agree/Disagree

•The U.S. should use its military as a “police force” for the rest of the world.  We should punish countries, or groups, who harm innocent people or violate international laws.

 Students made a decision about this statement and we had a class discussion.

 Next, I gave students notes on the different cultural regions of the Native Americans.

Students recorded information into their graphic organizers as I gave the lecture.

Following the lecture students began to work on a mapping activity on the Native Cultural regions.
