Monday, March 4th!
Welcome back!
Hopefully your weekend was restful. As I mentioned on Friday, we have a long four weeks in front of us: let’s start this Monday off right by being engaged, prepared and on-task.
3/4 Quick Write:
Note: If you didn’t turn in your current event on Friday, I am collecting it today. If you still do not have yours, you will earn a signature on the PBIS form.
Here are the objectives for today:
Today we are reviewing good ol TJ, also known as Thomas Jefferson. For three weeks we’ve discussed his political contributions prior to his presidency. This week, we are examining TJ’s rather contradictory (or inconsistent) policies and lasting influences. To start, we will go through the questions I handed out on Friday (both the reading and the questions are in Friday’s post). As a class we will discuss what he did as president, the growing power of the federal government, and introduce the idea of Judicial Review. Judicial Review is a power the Supreme Court uses to determine if an act or a law is constitutional or not. This power will be a topic we examine all week.
You will turn in the TJ questions (answered in complete sentences) at the end of class.
Keep in mind: you have another Current Event due on Friday!
