Tuesday

US history-we looked at the american citizenship test. I talked about the difference between knowing content and comprehending history. The idea we want to focus on is not just learning facts and "content" but being able to comprehend how it connects to history. In an example I said it is nice to know the first amendment, but we would like to know how the first amendment applies in certain events. What are the limits of it? Who should decide how free, freedom of speech should be? 

Gov-We took a survey to determine where students stand on the spectrum of conservative and liberal beliefs. We will look at the results later.
