This Week: April 18-22

Just a quick overview of this week, and remember things may change!

Current Event: We will continue with our current events this week.  Using the rubric found under "Links to Docs", find an article that relates to something we have covered since returning from Spring Break...This leaves it WIDE OPEN!  For example, we will be covering public opinions and polling today (Monday).  You can research the latest polls concerning the presidential election, the bathroom ordeal or anything else political.

  • Remember to write an objective summary of the article free of opinions.  THEN give your opinion of the article and what you learned from it.  THEN link your article to the document you turn in.  DUE WEDNESDAY!!
Vocabulary will be cumulative from last week and be introduced as we learn each lesson. You will have a quiz on the words from Unit II on TUESDAY.  This will be a fill in the blank type quiz using the words you have learned.

Monday:  Public Opinion and Polling with a look at demographics.  We will also be presenting what you have learned about political ideologies.  

Tuesday:  Vocabulary Quiz.  We will begin Unit III: Political Parties and Interest Groups.

Wednesday:  Current Events due.  This is an EARLY RELEASE day.  I will be at a training workshop all day, and you will be registering for the AP exam.  

Thursday:  Benchmarks/Midterm.  All test corrections are due at the beginning of class.  You will have the entire time to work.  There will be new material from your midterm on this test.

Friday:  Continue with Unit III.  

Whew...I'm tired just thinking about this week! :)  Remember, if you will be gone on the field trip, you will need to check the blog each day to see what we have done.  I will update with what we got to during second block.  Have fun!!
