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!
