Students have no homework for tomorrow's class. However, I did put out a call for any homework that has not been turned in as a result of being absent or having overlooked Tomorrow is the last day to turn these in ! The Tuesday class, this week, was interesting in that we shared in small and then the larger group the articles students chose to read and write about in the Upfront Magazine.
Tomorrow we will begin studying the "right to vote" amendments and how the right to vote has expanded since the Constitution was adopted. This is still part of the unit we will be working on for a few weeks on; "how does the constitution protect our basic rights?"
Looking ahead, in several weeks we will be reading and discussing from Unit Six in "We the People" , what are the responsibilities of citizens. I would like to bring in some local or state legislators to come in and talk about our rights and responsibilities as it relates to the political process.
If you have personal contact information or know on a personal basis, state level or local legislators from NH or VT, or someone who has a story to tell, and would be willing to share this information, I would like to have a couple of them come in to talk with the class. Let me know !
We will also be checking into some of Ken Burn's films on voting rights and continuing to use the Upfront Magazine for current events.
Thanks,
Steve
