I am trying to balance the civic competition, the election, and the class material covered. I am not going to give you a big speech about the importance of the election, but elections are the most important part of American Government. They are the essence of popular sovereignty. The Constitution competition will help your performance with the AP exam. But I will get back to the schedule and try to get the class back on track. So here is a modified syllabus of upcoming classes, tests, and essays.
Thursday September 11- Constitution (Chapter 2 up to page 51)
HW READ 51-55 and write a brief summary of the Madison model of government? How is it reflected in the structure of American Government? What issues or problems does it raise?

Friday September 12 Constitution (Federalist vs. Anti-Federalist) Ratification and Amendments -REB speaker 15 minutes
Essay: Formal vs. Informal Amendment essays
Monday, September 15 The impact of the constitution on Policy making and review
HW: Study Chapter 2 for Quiz
Tuesday, September 16 Chapter 2 Quiz

Tessa,
The vocab. is due on Friday- but I have to compile all these words and make a super powerpoint. Would you like to help put that together?
Anita, You are with TESSA and her Cohorts- Unit One. Chapter 2 review tomorrow.
Thanks!
I am Jess, and you never told me about vocab by the way..
Mr. Coit, I thought I'd be able to find your email on parentbridge, but no luck. If you don't get this tonight (Thurs) then I'll just get it to you tomorrow from my data stick.
Hey, it's Kate.
So I'm kinda freaking out because I have no idea what vocab you're talking about and when I went to do my powerpoints tonight (yes last minute, my fault, i know) I discovered I didn't have the sheet to do them! So can I just get that from you tomorrow morning and then, I don't know, not attend my first hour to go do them? Sorry!
