Students,
Today was constitution day! We examined the preamble of the constitution and discussed the ideas that our founding fathers laid down in its text. Mostly this revolved around the six functions of government.
1. Establish Justice
2. Provide for the common defense
3. Ensure domestic tranquility
4. Promote the general welfare
5. Secure the blessing of liberty
6. Form a more perfect union.
In the attached power point there are examples of each and every one of these six functions. In class we created a document that had each of these six functions that you were asked to define in your own terms. We then began working on a "cube" where each side would represent one function of government with a picture that you have drawn to represent them.
Homework: finish your cubes / self definitions
AP students: Your world map poster projects are due on Monday the 23rd
Looking forward: We will be creating population pyramids of Seguin, TX. review what these geography tools are and how they are used to study populations.
