Class Work:

 Students finished discussing  the article on Tony Blair and changes to the constitution of Great Britain and continued discussing/taking notes on various aspects of Great Britain (institutions of government, economy, various significant Prime Ministers, etc.). In the discussion, students also utilized AP Comparative Government nomenclature (i.e. power, authority, legitimacy, transparency, etc.) to apply to various aspects of Great Britain's political system.

If time permitted, students began working on practice FRQs on Great Britain. I will post these FRQs once we begin work on them depending on whether or not we finish the Great Britain discussion.

Homework:

Review your Great Britain, Tony Blair, and Maggie Thatcher notes.
