Due Wednesday 12/18
For all classes: a creative original symbol for either one of the current cabinet positions or one of the first two political parties. Whichever you choose, your final creation needs to show thought, effort and a clear understanding of the department or party. Use color and describe it in 2-3 sentences on the reverse side of the page. Worth 10 points.

Last government-based assignments and test
A block (and other classes as well, if you missed this in class): here's the answer key to the "how well do you know your political terms" worksheet.
Here's the link to what we'll be doing in class on Wednesday (A block) and Thursday (E block).

Here's the example I mentioned in class (so please do not repeat these articles or this specific point): these two articles on the timeline of the Affordable Care Act show (on the negative side) how slow the legislative process can be, or (on the positive side) how thoroughly the law has been reviewed by all branches (and levels) of government: http://www.postandcourier.com/article/20130928/PC16/130929326 and

Thursday 12/12 is your test on American government for all classes (note the change for A and C). Format will be multiple choice and an open response written section. You should be able to answer all of these study questions in detail, and here's an electronic version of the crossword I gave out in class.
Here's the link to the Constitution summary I mentioned in class, and here's the answer key to the guide to the Constitution. Finally, you can find the 100 naturalization test questions and their answers here. You should be very familiar with the first section (#s 1-57) with the exception of #s 35, 36, 40 and 56. ("selective service" in #57 can be simply translated to mean the military, or military service).
