I hope you took some valuable time to brush up on the Legislative Branch because this train is moving on! Next stop, the Executive Branch! For your bell work: copy and answer the following question in your journal. Explain your reasoning behind your answer choice (do not simply say, "because I know"). *Slideshare is having some technical difficulty this morning- I will display the exam sample questions shortly. |
The Executive Branch Begins!
Begin: By viewing the Scale provided here (<--- Click here) and deciding where you think you rate currently (before beginning, it's okay to be a 0! We will be aiming to be at least a 3!)
Intro: The job of the President of the United States of America (sometimes call POTUS for short) is a difficult one. Of course, you get access to secret service agents, your own personal chef and a fancy house in Washington D.C. but there is a lot more to the "glamor" of the job. Today, you and your shoulder partner will be working together to investigate what it takes to become the President of our country and what the job entails.
Some Rules of our adventure!

Some Rules of our adventure!
- Read EVERYTHING very carefully
- Follow directions on the Executive Branch/ Presidential site
- Respect our technology
- Answers to questions must be submitted on Edmodo or in your journal for the technologically challenged (let me know if you choose this route)
- Respect each other most of all!
If you cannot follow these simple rules, you will be given a text book based assignment.
