Welcome to the Blog!


The dawn of a new day and year over Westview!

Hello everyone,

Welcome to the Westview Diversity and Social Justice class blog during the 2017-18 school year! Before we begin with posting updates via class recaps, let us give you a little introduction to this website.

First off, comments can be made on any post by anyone, and they can be anonymous (though we would really prefer that you leave your name, so that we can follow up with you in person) by selecting "Name/URL" on the right, underneath the comment box. Please try to use good spelling and grammar in your comments! We (Mr. Fritz) have to approve the comments before they are posted, so don't worry if you don't see your comment right away.

Secondly, because we will be putting up the class agenda and homework, as well as any interesting links (after class has met), we will attempt to give you ways to download the relevant files and documents you may have missed in class or would be interested in seeing again for your homework (or just because). For instance, here is the syllabus that we passed out in class:



The learning targets for the course and rubrics for how you will be assessed/graded this year can be found here:


Finally, to contact us personally (other than leaving a comment - which we may or may not see immediately), please e-mail us at luke_fritz@beaverton.k12.or.us and/or natalie_labossiere@beaverton.k12.or.us. We will get back to you ASAP! Again, please use grammatically correct language and spelling, to the best of your ability. It really is appreciated and will go a long way for you in the future!

We know it might be a lot to take in, but hopefully we will all get used to it! We envision this blog as a place where you will be able to come to converse with your classmates and us, as well as get all the latest assignments, updates from class, and further information.

If you have any questions or comments, please never hesitate to let me know!

Welcome again - thanks for visiting. Please bookmark this site and come back soon! :-)
