November 28


I gave you updated marks for your Unit 2 Final Exam. I went through the American system of checks and balances, and then assigned the Comparative Government Assignment. Please work with a partner on this assignment. This assignment is due on Monday, December 8th. Make sure that it is a comparative chart, and make sure that you include pros and cons for the appropriate sections. We spent the rest of class time doing small group discussion on the following four questions:

  • Should the voting age be lowered?
  • Should voting be mandatory?
  • Should everyone over the age of 18 be allowed to vote?
  • Is the first past the post system democratic?



I showed you a video from the U.S. History series on "Expansionism" today. As you watched the video you had to write notes on the documentary. I also went through how to write a Paper 3. You will be writing a Paper 3 on Monday. You will have 5 minutes to write an outline for your essay, and 50 minutes to write the Paper 3.
