Constitution Quiz

 

 

Congress Biography and Reflection

 

I was trying to avoid you having homework over break. But, if you did not complete the Congress Biography and Reflection before break, please turn it in by Monday, January 9 at the beginning of your class period.

 

Remember, a Reflection that earns an A is at least 2 pages (regular), 3 pages (honors), uses complete well written sentences, and brings in details about the law making process to showcase what you have learned through the simulation.  

 

If you were one of the following roles, President, VP, Chief Justice, Speaker of the House, Senate Majority Leader, or Whip, you should fill out Part Two pertaining to your role. You may not be able to say how you voted in committee, but you can reflect on your role. You can reflect on what you were doing at the time when the other members of Congress were working in committees. Therefore, if you had a role where you did not do something mentioned in the worksheet, you should answer the reflection question as if it were posed to you and what you were doing at the same time. I.e. The President/VP were dealing with the PDB, signing laws, etc. The Speak of the House/Senate Majority Leader and whips were managing the bills, putting them up for vote on the floor, etc.

 

See you soon! Have a great rest of your break! 

 

20% reduced credit for assignments turned in within 3 school days.

Today we spent the whole period going over the basics of the Declaration of Independence. Everyone filled out a worksheet with some basics about the Declaration of Independence, and a quote. Tomorrow I'll give you a blank copy of the same worksheet and you'll fill it in.

 

The quote at the bottom of the page that should be memorized is:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

 

The rest of the page should be filled out just as we did together in class today. 

Extra Credit Opportunity: 

Watch the Vice Presidential Debate TONIGHT - Tuesday, October 4, at 6:00 PM and complete both sides of the worksheet for up to 27 extra credit points added to the "homework" percentage of your grade.

 

Live Streaming – All the major news networks will offer a free live stream as will YouTube and Twitter.

TV Channels – Each debate will be broadcast live on C-SPAN, ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC, as well as all cable news channels including CNN, Fox News, Fox Business Network, and MSNBC among others.

Full Videos – Click the “Watch Full Video Link” below on each debate to watch the entire debate video. http://www.uspresidentialelectionnews.com/2016-debate-schedule/2016-presidential-debate-schedule/

Time – The debates will air from 9pm to 10:30pm ET (8pm – 9:30pm CT, 7pm – 8:30pm MT, 6pm – 7:30pm PT)

See attached files. You need to complete both sides for the max extra credit (27 points). 9 points will be awarded to the front side, and 18 will be awarded if you complete the backside. The backside is why you said either Pence or Kaine did better in a certain category. If you don't have the ability to print this at home, you can just do it on a separate sheet of paper (just the category, who won, and the reason they won in that category in your opinion). Be sure to write your reason for each category showing you watched the debate. 

 

If you for some reason cannot watch the debate tonight, you can watch the entire debate video at the link above by Friday for the extra credit. 

 

This is not a required assignment. This is an extra credit opportunity. 

To study for it:

1. Be sure you've read sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 and completed the bookwork.

2. Review your notes

3. Review the slides shows (attached)

Chapter 6 Key Terms Quiz will be on Friday, September 30. You are welcome to use any method you like to review for this. My suggested method is using Quizlet.com since I created this Quizlet set and print the quiz directly from the website. I suggest testing yourself using Quizlet until you feel ready (until you get through it with 100%). I will be choosing 20 random words from the chapter that will be on the quiz. We have used these words in class, you have used them in your bookwork, and you should have read about them in the text. 

 

Below is the link to the Chapter 6 Key Terms Quizlet. The profile I used was EastRichardistan. If you can't seem to use the link below, you can go to Quizlet.com and search for EastRichardistan. The Chapter 6 Key Terms should come up.
