Thursday, 29 October

Class began with a discussion of the article about opposition to Federal gun control laws in Coos County assigned last class.

Next the class reviewed the goals of the unit.

Mr. Zartler presented the following online lecture to help students understand the concepts of
1) Separation of Powers and 2) Checks & Balances (or "Checks that Balance") Separation of Powers and Checks and Balances: Crash Course Government and Politics #3.

During this lecture students were asked to attend to the questions: How are "Separation of Powers" and "Checks & Balances" different?  What common goal did the framers have of structuring the government with "Separation of Powers" and "Checks & Balances"?

Students then had time to study the assigned sections of the text book, and conference with Mr. Zartler about possible projects for the unit.
