Civics: Today you completed a quiz on the material related to citizenship, public policy, interest groups and the media.  As you reflect on how well you did on the quiz, be sure to consider what you did to prepare for the assessment.  Are you satisfied with how you felt taking the quiz?  Would you do anything different to prepare?  Did you use your Cornell notes at all during the quiz as a reference?  Remember, you need to apply what you are learning related to content.  I will return the quizzes tomorrow.
