Welcome!
Court Cases We have a plethora of court cases, but not as many as there used to be to learn. Our first step in this will be to cover the Court Cases through Posters where you are telling each other about the case you have been assigned. Our key components are what was at issue (violation of what), you should have more to say verbally about the issue, but this should be condensed into 1 - 2 sentences AT MOST; then the results of the case (they do not need to know the #'s in the decision), just what the decision is. What was the precedent that your court case established. We have some court cases in our inquiry which are also part of your standards, but will NOT have posters, but still need to be known. We will also have a chain game where you will link the court cases together and it should make a circle, if you get anything other than a circle then one of your court cases is wrong and need to fix it.
Inquiry Me This We are wrapping up inquiries as we start the next inquiries, after we are done with the federal branches the inquiries will slow down with the units again, but at the moment we have smaller units which are leading to faster inquiries. Remember the Taking Informed Action components of inquiries are mini-TEST grades, so please don't forget to complete these.
End of the Grading Period The end of the grading period is TWO weeks away, if you have something that needs fixing it needs to be fixed sooner than later.
