World History I - We watched CNN Student News, and discussed a separate news story dealing with the world population. The world population climbed over seven billion today, and we talked about some of the implications of that. Then students grabbed a textbook, and worked out of that. They were reading through the first few sections of chapter eight and filling in a guided note worksheet. Topics included how royal power grew, conflicts with the Pope, and the crusades. This will be finished tomorrow. Students were informed that they will have a test on Thursday of this week over chapter seven and eight.
Government - Started with CNN Student News, and also discussed the world's population. Then we began the Bill into Law process, focusing on a bill's route through the House of Representatives. We will finish the process in the Senate tomorrow. We also watched the School House Rocks "I'm Just a Bill" cartoon to reinforce the process. Government will also have a test at the end of the week on the Legislative Branch, which is chapters five through seven.
