Thursday October 27, 2011 – Periods 1 & 3
Monday October 31, 2011 – Periods 4 & 6
Today we reviewed the judicial system beginning with the level of both state and federal courts. We watched the opening of a court trial to gain an understanding of court proceedings in a criminal case. We listened to the judges instructions to the jury as he described their duties as jurors.
Today also marked the end of our practice SSA on the American Jobs Act and the beginning of our SSA research paper on healthcare. We began our lesson with a news article “Man Dies From Toothache, Couldn’t afford Meds” and watched part of the video “Sick Around America.”
