Government students did Guided Reading 1-3 and a political cartoon in class today. These are on the absentee bulletin board, and you may get one the day you creturn to class. They also copied a chart on the SMARTboard comparing democracies and dictatorships. SMART software documents are not posted on the Internet, so you will have to get this information from a classmate. A bellringer entitled "The Main Types of Government" was also given out. I graded and gave back the chapter 1 vocabulary activity. You need to get it when you return to school because you will need it to study for Thursday's test. Government students were given a homework assignment today that will require them to watch part of the Republican National Convention. You must evaluate one speaker using a document I provided. Please see your class page on the wiki or click "assignments" on my Carver webpage for more information on this assignment. The assignment is due Friday. You will have a quiz tomorrow on Chapter 1, section 2. ** Bonus for Government students: Anyone who provides the answers for the following will recieve a homework slip in class tomorrow. 2nd period students-- Who gave the keynote address at the RNC Tuesday night? 3rd period students-- What state is he from? 7th period students-- What is his position in his home state?** U. S. History students did a partner participation activity using Alabama maps. There is no make up for this activity, so you must replace it with a homework slip.
