Why Government?

SOL 2A

Objective: Today I will introduce you to the subject of civics and economics. We will also be introduced to the seating chart, classroom rules, the scoreboard, class = yes, Ninja scholarship, and the five classroom rules.

We have a lot of ground to cover, and need every second we can get. Good classroom citizenship is the only way that we can get there. Welcome to my class and I look forward to a great year.

Homework: Read and take notes on iCivics' reader "Why Government."

Introduction: Crash Course and U.S. Government and Politics

In which Craig Benzine introduces a brand new Crash Course about U.S. Government and Politics! This course will provide you with an overview of how the government of the United States is supposed to function, and we'll get into how it actually does function. The two aren't always the same thing. We'll be learning about the branches of government, politics, elections, political parties, pizza parties, and much, much more!
