Government Focus Questions – Chapter One

Go here for Chapter One – Principles of Government
Assignment is due on Tuesday October 22.

In an effort to truly gain from classroom discussion, it is essential that you do assigned readings. To encourage you to read, I will provide five focus questions per reading assignment. I expect that you will answer these questions in detail and in your own words. Assignments are worth 50 points. Answers for each question should be at least 100 words in length. Answers which are copied from the book, will receive a zero credit. Assignment is to be done in ink (pencil minus one grade / typed +5%).

I will list all of the Focus Questions for Government below:

RWE – OPTION T (Green Pizza in Detroit)

Go here for a PDF copy of Real World Economics Guidelines.
Please go here for list of reputable news sources.
Go here for guidelines on Active Reading RWE, ACT, and IOW

A major goal in this economics course will be to look at economics from a Real World perspective. Instead of seeing the subject from text only, it is important that we understand how economics affects us on a local, national, and international scale. In order to insure that this remains a course focus – we will spend most every Friday of the semester on Real World Economics. Our Friday presentations will stem from two separate types of assignments. Each of these assignments will come from current news sources. Real World Economics will constitute the 25% project portion of your Marking Period grade.

T – TEACHER Choice – Teacher will choose Economics based news article and provide questions to go with it. The assignment always includes a portion where students go onto the Internet to search. Assignments are due on Friday. Friday discussions will revolve around assigned news item.

S – STUDENT Choice – Teacher will provide you a topic and format for research. That format is attached to the end of this syllabus.
