A.P. U.S. Government

classwork: 3rd, 5th, and 7th  periods only TODAY as it was an ODD  DAY.

Students got feedback on the "Foundations" Test from 10-1-20 Foundations test. Next, they began discussing parts of  a document for the Civil Liberties/Civil Rights unit. A MS WORD Doc of this document is attached below. I would advise you to download and print it out, so you can make notes on it in our class discussions.


homework:


Download and print a copy of the "SCOTUS Case Response" form below. Next, download the "15 Must Know SCOTUS Cases" doc below (we'll be using this for the rest of the semester).

It is due Thursday, 10-15-20 for periods 3,5, and 7, and Friday, 10-16-20 for 4th period.

Read the Tinker v. Des Moines Case in 15 Must Know SCOTUS Cases" doc, and fill out the SCOTUS Case Response form for this case. WRITE IN COMPLETE SENTENCES! Sometimes you may need to copy some information verbatim. That's OK since this is for class discussion purposes.

You should put asterisks by or write down 5 things you deem most important in order to participate in a Socratic Discussion on Thursday, 10-15-20. Your grade will be based on your participation.
