Intro to government

Today we did quite a bit… Started with a brain storm of what we will learn in Government unit.  Some discussions were more on topic then others.

We did notes on the three branches of government.  Legislative, Executive and Judicial.  I used this OLD SCHOOL lecture PDF but we supplemented by looking up the people currently in these positions (rather  then go with decades old names)  3-Branches-of-Government

and used this document to start notes 3-Introduction-to-Canada

Your homework was to read something on a local politician

Party Candidate Votes % ±% Expenditures
Liberal Sara Badiei
People’s Jayson N. Chabot
Conservative Nelly Shin
Marxist–Leninist Roland Verrier
Green Bryce Watts
New Democratic Bonita Zarrillo

Government Unit

Today we wrote a World War One unit test, and most trench letters have been handed in.  Tomorrow we will start a Government unit.  This is switching gears to make sure we are studying our government section during the election.  This only made sense to me…

We will continue with history (the 20’s and 30’s will be the following unit) once we are done Government.
