Today we took some time out to talk about the Presidential Election. I am going to try my best to take some time out every Friday to talk about it. Before we started, I wanted to find out what everyone already knows and what they want to know about the election so that election discussion doesn't get boring. If you missed today's class you must turn in to me a KWL chart (what you already KNOW/what you WANT to know/what you've LEARNED) with the K and the W parts filled in. This was for a grade.
Also a very important note: Your first exam is Monday! At the end of class I released the essay questions, so you can come to class with your exam essay already prepared. I recommend that everyone do this so that they can put together a well-thought-out and organized answer using whatever resources necessary. If you come to the exam without a prepared answer you will not get to use external resources, only your brain. Here are the questions:
1. Compare two forms of government that are alike. How are they alike and how are they distinct?What makes these two forms different than other forms of government?
2. Explain how social contract theory was an important philosophy to the formation of American government.
