day 3 and 4

Yesterday, we worked on the ed cafe.I thought that this idea was pretty affective in order for all of us to learn about the first amendment. Although there were some flaws such as, some students didn't bring up good points, and others only talked for a short bit. Personally, I think that the freedom of speach is the most important, but the person in my group didn't give me strong notes on the subject and just made me confused. I think that this activity would work better if all the students went to the lab together to work on their topics as a team.

blog day 1 and 2

We went to the computer lab and worked on our projects. I played Do I have he Right. I learned a lot of the amendments in the constitution by playing this game. Then on Monday we talked about the Ferderalists and the anti-federalists. I brought up the point on James Madison being both sides. I learned that he liked the constitution just not all the ideas the federalists had.

Two presidents

In my opinion, why have two presidents when one works just fine for us for hundreds of years? I think that two presidents would bring up a lot of controversies and unnecessary arguments inside the government. One voice is better because they have the final decision and no arguing. I think that two presidents would be affective but not as affective as just one president. Overall, one president is superior over two presidents.

Blog days 3 and 4 Tuesday 18

The last two days on class we have been talking about the government. On Monday we read a document in class discussing the possibilities of one president or more. Most plans of the government decided that 1 was the right choice and so it was put into place. Today we read 2 documents on the three branches of government. We also had to make a spread out sheet showing all the functions of the three branches.

Day 1 and 2 in class 9/10-9/14

On Thursday in class we took the preamble test. After that we talked about what the founding fathers thought was the best for the newly formed United States government. Today we had a review of what work was being assigned for the next few weeks. We learned that we would have to blog every few nights and about new projects and updates on the ones that we already received. O reall it was good to have a review day just to make sure that we are all going in the right direction.

Artifacts

Artifacts that would describe me:

A golf club would be a very good artifact that describes me. Golf is my favorite sport and I love to get out on the course and play. Golf is such a relaxing and fun sport to play and you can play it all your life unlike most sports. Playing golf is a privilege because it is such an expensive sport and it's a good way to learn how to be patient. I also have many friends who golf so its always enjoyable out paying with them.

An American flag would also is a great artifact that describes me. My extended family has a couple war veterans. My grandfather fought of aircraft carriers in World War two. His ship actually was hit in a attack and was sunk and he survived the wreck. My cousin First Lt. Derek Hines fought over in Afghanistan and was killed in combat on September 1st, 2005. Because of the two veterans in my family I respect all veterans and soldiers of our country.

A picture of my family is the most important artifact that a scientist could find about me. My family is by far the most important thing in my life I couldn't imagine my life without them. I have two fantastic parents that would do anything to make my life better. I also have two younger sibilings that are great to me. My brother is the person that stands out to me the most out of my family. I am two years older than him and I can go to him to talk about anything. He is a great brother and friend. My life would very difficult without him.
