September 13, 2012 and September 14, 2012:
(I will most likely treat this as a summary of what we did in class unless further instructed.)
On the 13th, we took our Preamble Memorization Quiz (which I wish we had had the choice to sing) and we filled out three papers on advantages and disadvantages to specific types of government. The governments that we looked at were: Unicameral vs. Bicameral, People vs. the States, and Proportional vs. Equal. It was interesting because we debated it a little but we also looked at how it was possible to compromise each of these ideas. (We were assigned to write to a congressperson about compromise also.) We looked at what was decided to have when our government was first created and what we have today.
On the 14th, we talked about how to understand out syllabus. Everything on it was cleared up so we could understand what we were doing and when it is due. I think it really helped everyone because we were all trying to do everything it said but we were all very confused. Now it's all good. (Thanks Mr. Boyle!)
Until next time!
