10/18 Determining Political Beliefs

Whenever you need help, please ask for it.

Please write your homework in your assignment book.
Please review the goal and agenda for the day (posted in the classroom).

Today in class you will 

• share your understanding of why you are learning topics in social studies.
• identify what we think about different political issues.

Why?

• To develop our understanding of our reach as a global citizen.
• To better understand different viewpoints on important issues.

1.  Discuss with someone near you what you will be doing in class today and why (see above).   1 minute

2.  Open the Doc we were discussing yesterday. Review your responses, and we'll continue the discussion.     25 minutes

3.  (If you started this yesterday, just open your copy.) Make a copy of the document linked here, and follow the directions on the document. You may discuss with people near you and ask for clarification. Make sure, however, your answers are your own.     15 minutes

While you wait, complete the Google A Day challenge using Google Search techniques you have learned (which doesn't include searching the question).

Parents: Instead of Asking Your Child, 
"What Did You Do in School Today?"

Ask them.......

• What issues did you agree with? Why?
• What issues did you disagree with? Why?
• Do you think you are more liberal or conservative? Explain why?
