Unit 4
Study Guide
This study guide highlights the main points of the upcoming test. Make sure you have your 4.1 & 4.2 Notes filled out completely. The "How a Bill Becomes a Law" was not covered in notes below, but it was covered in depth through your boardgame project. Make sure you are completely aware of the Lawmaking Process and its unique vocabulary.

Project
The capstone project for this unit is the "How a Bill Becomes a Law" Board Game Project. Make sure to incorporate all the components required in the project sheet that you have to download, but also go above and beyond that to ensure a great grade. Pay close attention to the scoring rubric.

Classroom Activities
Within these activities are different tasks, webquests, charts, etc. that students work on, on a nearly daily basis. Within these learning activities is the majority of information that students need to know to perform well on the exam. I label them as "notes" because students should student these closely to do well on the test.

Classroom Lecture PowerPoints
Sometimes information is spread out, esoteric, difficult to understand, or students request that certain large concepts be explained through lecture. These are the Powerpoint files that I use during the lecturing process.
