Unit 1 – Our Government Review
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unit 1 District Assessment covers the following standards. We highlighted all the notes to be reviewed in your child\u2019s notebook. In addition to reviewing the highlighted notes, your child should know the steps a Bill must go through to become a law and I have listed them below. Your child will also have to answer 4 essay questions, also listed below.

All of the district assessments are taken on the Chromebooks.
