Today in Class

We discussed Articles IV-VII of the Constitution.  We then worked on interpreting and analyzing some of the key clauses of the Constitution as a whole.  We used the "show, mean, matter" approach to do so.  Every student was given a separate clause and then asked to:

• Identify and cite the appropriate section.(show)
• Write what the clause's literal meaning was (mean)
• Analyze why that clause was important (matter).

We also passed out the BILL OF RIGHTS WORKSHEET and ILLINOIS CONSTITUTION WORKSHEET that is homework for tonight.

We also passed out the REVIEW GUIDE for Friday's Constitution test along with a SUMMARY OF CHECKS AND BALANCES.
