Our starter for today was: What is the difference between the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution?
We collected the starters today - these will be the last set of starters that will be counted on term 2.
Please take a look at your grades on Skyward - there will not be any new assignments added to this term so your grade can not go down. If you would like to have a higher grade for Term 2, please turn in any missing assignments or complete any re-dos by Monday at 2:00 at the very latest. I would prefer all late work/re-dos turned in Monday morning.
I gave each class 20 minutes to work on the Revolutionary War Theme Park (test). This will be due next Tuesday (for A days) or Wednesday (for B days). It will be the first grade on Term 3.
Today we began our study of the U.S. Constitution. We began with a very brief overview of different political systems that are used throughout the world. We briefly discussed what a constitution is and how it is different from simply being a collection of laws. We then looked at the Articles of Confederation and some of their weaknesses. We will go into more depth on the Articles next time.
