Welcome to 2nd Semester AP Government & Politics! Many of you have been waiting to take this course for the past semester while some may not be too thrilled at the prospect of tackling political stuff. And then there's those of you who equally love (or hate!) government and economics.
At this juncture, I haven't quite finalized how I plan on using this blog, but here's a preliminary list.
1. Post class information and provide links to pages you will be required to read.
2. You must post at least one blog per semester responding to any aspect of American Politics that you have come across in class, in your Wilson text, or in the media.
3. Provide a forum for students to comment, which will be part of the 10% Class Participation grade in the course.
Feel free to comment and start reading newspaper articles from sources such as Politico, NY Times, CNN.
If you read this, please purchase a spiral-bound notebook solely for this class as I will require a certain amount of note-taking/outlining from your Wilson book and utilize "open-notes" quizzes for this semester.
Let's hope you know more about the Constitution than Barney Fife.
