U.S. History

We finished our in-class work time on the "God and the Founders" article and work page -- due first thing tomorrow...finish for homework.  We began our study of the Constitution -- the test will be calculated into the final exam grade; so you'll be accomplishing a portion of the semester exam early.  We read p.188 and the Preamble on p.189.  To begin the in-depth look at Article I, we began viewing the related mini-documentary on constitutioncenter.org -- in the "Constitution Hall Pass" series (click on "More," and scroll down to find the one about the "Legislative" branch.  1st hour viewed until 9:26; 2nd hour is just about to begin; 4th hour is at 4:19.  While viewing, record clear notes of main ideas, facts, and explanations to address the "what," "how," and "why" of this section of the Constitution...to be continued in class tomorrow.
