Daily Agenda

 
Homework
Complete (all hours but 4th) Quick!  We Need a New Government handout Section B- Got Government? 
2nd Hour ONLY!  Complete the 4 Types of Government - Benefits and Drawbacks assignment.

 
Warm-Up
Quick Write Paper:  What is RACE?  Pass out RACE: Are We So Different? pamphlets and permission slips for the upcoming team field trip on November 12, 9:15-11:15.  Read permission slip and give a brief overview.

Words of Wisdom
  1. Work as a team to identify pros and cons of the four types of government (anarchy, monarchy, representative democracy, direct democracy).  Individuals take notes based on team consensus.
  2. Jigsaw into specific government teams to create a classroom presentation and discussion comparing the four types of government.  Students add additional information to individual notes (ISN pg. 3.3).
  3. Use ISN notes 3.2 and 3.3 with Got Government? handout to:
    • consider a problem faced by the colonists
    • determine the best type of government to solve that problem and explain why that type of government would help best
    • stand and present individual theories (in some cases a class debate may occur; each problem could be solved by more than one type of governement)
