Monday's Class

We did three things in Monday's class:

1. We went over the syllabus. If you want to see a copy it is pasted below. It lets the students know my expectations for the year.

2. I modeled a current event assignment for them and assigned a current event assignment due on Friday.

3. We began to look at the political geography of Canada.

Current Events

Your first current event assignment is due this Friday--September 17. Remember it has to be about the elections in Michigan. A good place to find stories about this is mlive.com under politics or just click on a story listed on my blog. Please take your time and have an acurate summary filled out.

Here is a current events sheet in case you lost yours:
