Civics-Focus-World

Civics: Today we finished up our focus on the key concepts of the material in Ch. 4. For 4.5 only focus on Judicial Review (ability of a court to hear a case),  Precedent, Strict and Loose Constructionist. Add those concepts and the 5 step process for judicial interpretation to your study guide. We will take a 40 point quiz on the material on Thursday.

We began reading Founding Rivalries in class today. I asked you to complete the first 5 questions. We will finish the reading in class on Thursday.

No class tomorrow due to the DIA field trip

Focus: 3rd Blog post is due by Friday

World: Quiz on Thursday on African Empires. Text material chapter 15. Also, focus on your Cornell notes, and other handouts related to the material. Today we finished the Timbuktu segment and began debriefing.  Most significant quote.  Timbuktu: Where salt was worth its weight in gold and gold was used for books.  Continue to review the material you have.
