Hey guys-
Missed you today! I heard Teacher BETTY rocked class though. :)
David and Adam gave killer presentations, showing off how much they learned about the Sons of Liberty and the Minutemen and Militia of the Revolutionary Times.
NICELY done young men!
Hannah - you're up next week, so get ready!
After round 2 of the Constitution Quiz, and some Constitution Bowl questioning, we see that we have still a good amount of work/study yet to do. And yet some of you have already been putting your feet to the fire...working very hard to be prepared to help our team at the Bowl. THANK YOU to all of you who are SERIOUSLY working to understand this great document!
As for assignments, check this out:
1 - For Hannah...finish up your presentation
2 - For all y'all....see this and below: Constitution Journal - through Amendment 10
3 - Opinion Paper - Discuss why you think Free Speech is important
4 - Read THE LAW
5 - STUDY for the CONSTITUTION BOWL!
Check out the link below...some study aids created by Carolyn Marriott (former member of our co-op) https://quizlet.com/78563483/the-articles-flash-cards/original. IT IS AWESOME!
All right....that's it. I have got to get to bed. And I know what you're thinking..."I've got to hit the books!"
So, I'll let you at it.
Bonsoir!

4/9 Class Update
It was great to see everyone today!
We had a quiz on the Constitution - and it was a bit of a wake up call. That quiz took most of the class period, and most of us found we needed much better preparation and study. Wowser....
Well, WE'D all better STUDY! We'll have the practice Constitution bowl NEXT WEEK!
So, please study your Constitution Bowl Question Packet - includes the 92 questions in 3 separate sections.
We had a great discussion about items in the news of late, especially regarding standardized testing and the pros and cons involved.
We will have a debate about this next week, so PLEASE do your own research on this topic. GOOGLE it. :-)
What else.....that's really it. We had a lot more planned for class, but ran out of time. So we'll try to squeeze it in next week.
This Week's Assignment Recap:
1 - Read "The Law"
2 - Work on your presentations
3 - Complete Constitution Journal up through Amendment 4
4 - Opinion Paper – What Would Life Be Like Without the Constitution
5 - Read about and prepare for next week's debate topic “Standardized Testing…good or bad?”
6 - Read about and prepare to tell me about the process of ratification the several states went through - include dates / as well as why the Constitution must be the Supreme Law of the Land
It looks like a lot, I know. But if you do one thing per day (including today), you will be all ready and prepped for next week!
You can do this.
But don't do it for me.
Don't do it for your parents.
Do it for yourself. Preserving your freedom is of the UTMOST importance. And what we study is the KEY to just that.
Cheers!
