Welcome to Beyond 116 – our We the People’s blog! As you know, a critical part of this class is staying up to date with current events through listening to NPR (91.7, 88.5) and other content based news sources. The goal of this blog site is to encourage the habit of listening to serious news forums, share what you learn, keep up to date on current events, and to provide a forum for “non teacher directed” academic discussions. Initially I will provide links which I would like you to follow; we will discuss significant articles and events, you will have the opportunity to share substantive pieces which you have found and respond to what your colleagues have found. Pay particular attention to current events connected to the Supreme Court, Congress, executive powers, and court cases.
Starting today – June 9, I will submit a new post to our blog which I expect everyone to respond to before June 16 in order to ensure you are able to subscribe. I will start us off once school is out posting a variety of blogs; but I expect you to take it from there. I will continuously read your discussions and will add my comments from time to time. However, I expect it to be a student led forum for discussion. In order for you to receive full credit, I expect you to:
1. Post at least one substantive response to a post every two weeks (five over the summer – at least three by August 16); and
2. Provide a link to a relevant and substantive article from a credible news source such as NPR, New York Times, etc. ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASSIONS (at least two by August 16).
