We are finishing up our fifth unit, which means we are gearing up for the first Exam! This exam will cover material from units 1-5. Please complete ALL of the following homework. ***In order to have more accountability and thus maintain the standard of excellence, please TURN IN your Unit 5 notes, quiz, and news topic. I will have folders for you in the GOVT section of the homework box. If for some reason you are unable to complete this work, please speak to your parent and have them reach out to me before we meet next.
1. Go back to the previous Govt post with the login information for Sharon McMahon's Constitution 101 and watch the workshop or finish if you didn't do it previously. Just do it. And don't play Minecraft or listen to your fav podcast while you watch. Pay attention, you'll thank me later.
2. Download the next section of your reading syllabus. This is just for your READING. Always check the forum for additional homework guidance.
3. Complete the attached structured notes as you read through Unit 5 and the We Hold These Truths supporting documents. TURN IN NOTES
4. Complete the attached Unit 5 Quiz (you may use your book). TURN IN QUIZ
5. Use structured notes and quizzes TO STUDY FOR THE EXAM you will be taking IN CLASS during CoOp 5. Not open book and no notes.
6. Follow the link to check out https://www.youtube.com/worldwatchnews news source. Choose a quick news topic (each topic video is 1.5-2 minutes long) and give me a brief summary. I'm not looking for an essay, as you will not get massive amounts of detail, but just a few sentences about the topic, nations/peoples affected, main issue. TURN IN SUMMARY
Turned in items WILL BE GRADED and handed back. The test will be graded and returned before end of co-op or emailed to your parent afterwards if I can't get them graded before end of class.
We had a great time playing the "Feud" game though it was telling of how many of you are not fully paying attention to what we're studying. I encouraged you at the end of class to seize these opportunities and be intentional in these subjects. None of you are mediocre or lacking in mental ability but could benefit from the grit of digging into this material now so as to not be found lacking later when you are of age to participate in government etc. Do the work, do it well. Take full advantage today to equip yourselves for what God has in store for you tomorrow.

P.S. A new game buzzer should arrive in time for our next Feud.
