Guest Speakers

February 26th, 2015

Warm Up


1. What is the role of the media in our society?

2. How does the media make money?













Learning Objective: Students will understand the importance of civic engagement.

Success Criteria: Students can explain how to be an active member of our democracy.


















Today We took a break from our regular lessons to listen to the messages of two guest speakers.  The first, Sean Orr, who helps organize Youth Empowered in the Struggle (YES) at various schools around Milwaukee & Racine, came to promote the new chapter of YES at Bay View.  

The second, Kathy Arciszewski, a former elected member of the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors (the legislature for our county) and community advocate who promotes civic engagement in communities.
