Past 2 Days: September 18th



During the past two days in history, we discussed different branches of government. Today, we created info graphics depicting the three levels of government with facts about each branch. For example, my group drew a tree and the words "executive," "legislative," and "judicial" on three separate branches and then wrote information on leaves drawn to the branches.
Yesterday, we had an activity we had to fill out called "One President or Three?" in which we had to correctly state what each plan (The Virginia Plan, the New Jersey Plan, and the Hamilton Plan) was saying. The categories included how many people the plan involved, how they were elected, their term length, whether or not they could be reelected, general powers they had, whether or not they could be impeached, whether or not the had the power to veto, and their appointment power.
