September 7


I went through a PowerPoint presentation today called "Introducing Government" which covered the ideas of three important political philosophers: Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, and Jean Jacques Rousseau. I will be sending this presentation to you as soon as I have the e-mail distribution list up and running. I gave you the Unit 1 Worksheet today, you are responsible for completing the Chapter 1 Key Terms (from ideology to progressivism) for homework. I will do a homework check on this tomorrow. Please read Chapter 1. You also have another homework assignment due tomorrow, which is the friendly letter. Make sure that your friendly letter is in paragraph form too. The letter will probably be about 1 page in length (single-spaced). Please make sure that your letter demonstrates your writing ability and covers some of the following topics:

  • family
  • education plans (this year, and in the future; future career plans)
  • post-high school plans
  • favorite TV shows, movies, music
  • hobbies
  • extracurriculars
  • sports

Please check your e-mail accounts! Please respond back to the message!
