Wednesday, 15 January

Classes finished watch and taking notes on "Law and Disorder."
Classes discussed myths about the criminal justice system perpetuated by the media.

Mr. Zartler gave the following information about finals:

Test:
All topics covered this semester.
Not designed to "trick" but requires understanding
Some short answer: e.g. explain how
Few analysis: e.g. why?
Vocabulary is part of the test, but not enough to pass (see two items above).

Units:
Intro / history
History: Articles of Confederation v. Constituion; Great Compromise
Federalism: Structure; Supremacy Clause; SCOTUS; State v. Federal; electeds
Bill of Rights: What is protected? What is not?
Street Law (less than 5%) What to do / not do?

When deciding what to study, think about:

What are the "big issues," themes, ideas?

What id we study that can't be asked (easily) A, B, C, D?

What could you have a conversation about?

Bring texts to next class.
