4th period: Current Event, due 11/4

This week we will be discussing federalism, amendments to the Constitution and the amendment process. The Constitution is so amazing---your current event should be, too. :) Your topic this week is: your choice. Please stay away from the Entertainment news (it is NOT that entertaining), but everything else goes. Remember to find a story that interests you...that way it will interest me, too. Happy Blogging!

4th period: Current Event due 10/21

This week in C&E we will begin discussion the Constitution. Yay, I love the Constitution! Perhaps you will learn to love it, too. :) Your current event this week should be about compromise. The Constitution itself is made up of a series of compromises and has a built-in flexibility that allows for compromises to be made in the future. Look for an article that discusses some sort of agreement made between two or more parties; the article may be about politics, but can certainly involve social or economic issues as well. Happy hunting...I cannot wait to see what you find!

Which Founder are You? (4th, 6th and 7th)

For a few extra bonus points on your next test (it's Thursday....STUDY!) click on the link below and take the quiz from the Constitution Center:


http://constitutioncenter.org/FoundersQuiz/

After completing the quiz, you will be matched up with one of our Founding Fathers. Read a little bit about him (click on the "read more" tab at the conclusion of the quiz) and post your results. Be sure to list a) your name b) your founding father c) a few details about the FF and a sentence or two about why he might have been selected by the computer (i.e. how are YOU like him).

This is an optional assignment but, if done well, will help your grade and help me and your classmates to know a little more about you and one of our Founding Fathers. :)

This bonus must be completed by Friday at 4pm in order to be considered for extra credit.
