Period 2: Test Debrief and Depositions - Class Recap

Last Winter Break, I went to Phoenix, Arizona for the Fiesta Bowl. This year, I'll be headed to San Antonio, Texas for the Alamo Bowl! :-)

Welcome to your Winter Break!

With the condensed schedule today, due to the 2 hour late opening, we really did not have all that much time today. Here's what happened:

Soundtrack: “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” by Deep Blue Something. Selected because you easily could have had a nice long breakfast today with the late opening and also, it has the word "break" in the title. Lyrics here.

AGENDA 12/19/13:
Tort Reports
Review Test
The Deposition
Finish Notebooks

Homework: Have a wonderful Winter Break! Read the blog. Next tort report assigned to: Patrick and someone else, who wasn't on the original sign up sheet.
---
Tort Reports: Austin selected an article about a class action lawsuit having to do with New York City's "Stop and Frisk" law. He needs to email me or comment with the link for credit.

Review Test: I passed back the test to everyone that took it last class and we went over the answers together. Hopefully, the reasoning behind everything makes sense! I was pleased that the scores were, on average, much higher than in the past. Well done!

The Deposition: For the rest of class, we talked about what a deposition is and then watched an episode of The Office called "The Deposition," which involved a lawsuit by a character against her former employer for wrongful termination.

Finish Notebooks: At the end of class, I had everyone turn in their notebooks from the last unit for a notebook check. I will stay after school today and grade all of these - if you want your notebook back, go ahead and come grab it from the room tomorrow.
