Week 6

October 6-10
Welcome Danielle to Wuhan!

Three Things This Week:
1. Watch "3 Ring Government" on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5I2KFENjS8

2. Research the Branches of the U.S. Government and answer the following questions:
A. How does each branch get into office? (be specific)
B. How long do/can they serve in that position?
C. What does each Branch do? (use as many details as you think we want.)

Here are some websites to help, but don't be restricted by these:
http://www.usa.gov/Agencies/federal.shtml

http://bensguide.gpo.gov/3-5/government/branches.html

http://uspolitics.america.gov/uspolitics/government/constitution.html

A helpful PDF File will be emailed to you.

3. DO LAST: From the perspective of an American (pretend you are NOW and American), take the quiz located at this link, and record your results and bring them to class:
http://minnesota.publicradio.org/projects/ongoing/select_a_candidate/president.shtml

Write down the top four candidates the results give you, as well as the number below each name, indicating how closely you matched each candidate.
