World History - In world history classes, we discussed a few current events to kick off class. After talking about the news, students took notes over section one of chapter one. The first section deals with introductory information about how individuals study history. Students should now be familiar and be able to explain the impact of geography, anthropology, and archaeology. Students were also prompted to read pages from the first section and add information to their notes. These pages covered discoveries of early hominids and the characteristics of those groups.
AP Government - Students in these classes also started with a brief current events discussion. Second, we worked our way quickly through the two readings from last night. We discussed the People of Paradox entry from Lanahan, as well as expanding where necessary on forms of government and the principles of politics listed within chapter one. In the second half of class, students were given an activity that involves creating a utopian society. They will connect the information from chapter one when creating their "new society". On Monday (or Tuesday for 6th period) students will present their information, and we will classify their new governments as well as characterize the principle of politics used to accomplish their goals.
In other news:
-It's a big weekend at Bishop Chatard as there will be a ribbon cutting for the new athletic complex. Also, good luck to all of our student athletes competing this weekend! Go Trojans!
