1)  If you have not said the Preamble you must do that immediately at the beginning of class- no exceptions.
2) Chapter 3 is all about the Foundations of our Constitution. This Chapter is the heart of our government. Over the next week in class, you are to create a project representing the Foundations of our Constitution. It must be on foam board, must be colorful, must have pictures, must have detailed information of the below topics and must represent you! This means you must put forth some effort and time in this project. It will be a test grade. 

The topics that must be represented are: 
The Decleration of Independence
Articles of Confederation
U.S. Constitution (basic information)
The Bill of Rights
Three Branches of Government 
This project is due next Friday (September 29). We will work on this daily but time should be spent outside of class to meet expectations of this project. 

2) If you have not created your blog, do so now. There is a blog handout on the table next to the green & purple Business books. Create two posts today:
Post #1: Preamble (Title) Type out the preamble. Also, post a picture with your words.
Post #2: Foundations of our Country (Title) Create a post about important events listed in this chapter that help establish our country.

1) You will need some headphones for this activity!! Go to the link below and listen to this wonderful song by School House Rock. Do you remember this growing up at all? I do!! The part I want you to listen to and key in on is the part about the preamble- It starts off- "We the people..in order to form a more perfect union". That is the preamble to the Constitution. You will be responsible for memorizing the preamble. Maybe this song will help! You probably want to print you off a copy. You will be tested next week on it.

2) In Chapter 3, Section 3 your textbook discusses The Three Branches of Government and Balance of Powers. Using Microsoft Word or Power Point, you should create a graphic organizer (chart) organizing and detailing information and responsibilities for all three branches of government. You can use your textbook and various web sites to help you. This can be one of your sources but cannot be your only source:

3) Complete the Three Branches of Government handout below. This is a link so you will need to download, save it to your computer, to your student number and print upon completion.
