Hello,
I am Missy, the mentor of this class. The
course will consist of 27 lessons covering the basics of American Government.
The class begins by orienting you to some simple ideas necessary to understand
the nuts and bolts of government. As the lessons progress they do become more
challenging and are meant to not only teach you facts but to stimulate you to
really think about what the American Government stands for. The lessons consist
of many short answer questions and a few thoughtful essays. All work must be
written in your own words and you must put the question above each answer to get
credit. You will also be required to submit a Final Project. Read more about
the Final Project below.
In each unit there are a series of
questions for you to answer. In order to find the answers you will need to
utilize community and internet resources. There are a variety of resources
available to you in your quest for information. If you read the information in
the link below, you'll be able to answer many of the questions, but not all.
Submit the answers to the questions via your the form at the bottom of each
unit.
Final Project
The final project will be a 750-word essay. You may
pick one of the topics you found interesting in the lessons to use as a subject.
The main requirement is that you do high quality work in your own words on a
topic that interests you. None of the lessons are interesting? Contact me using
the form below and I'll help you figure something out. You will need to cite at least two sources in your essay. |
