Hi Global Studies students! What a fun and engaging class period. I couldn't have felt more impressed with your performance in our Trial today. Keep up the great effort! Also, don't forget that Thursday is your last opportunity to hand-in assignments that count toward your first semester grades.

Learning Targets:
- I can explain how culture both shapes and reflects society.

- I can communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing.

- RAP: Students opened class by reviewing their prepared arguments for our Trial of the Cultural Destruction of Ladakh. Students read their arguments to one another, and then developed a strategy for how to present their arguments.
- Main Stage: We then launched into our Trial, spending most of our class time listening and presenting to arguments from classmates. The UN was the panel listening to arguments with defendants being: The Ladakhi's, the Indian Government, Modern Ideas, the Global Capitalist Economy, and U.S. and European Tourists.
- Closing: To end class, students reflected on the debate and gave their individual opinions for who is MOST to blame and why. The UN also announced their finding that, in 2nd period, the Indian Government was to blame, and in 4th period that Modern Ideas and the Global Capitalist Economy is to blame
