Welcome
to our AP Government class blog! Our activities on the blog will be in the
green box located below. Read the activity and follow its instructions. When
you are ready to answer the questions required, scroll down to the bottom of
the blog page and click on add comment. Type your answers in the box that pops
up and at the end of your answers, include your name. You MUST have your name
in the comments box or you will NOT receive credit for your work. This is just
like putting your name on your paper! ALSO, you must click anonymous from the
drop down boxes listed below the comments box, since the comments are submitted
to me for review and not published. If you leave the box for Google ID checked,
your answers will be lost in space for all eternity (until you redo it!). If
you have ANY questions, please let me know! Tip: If you have any doubts or
fears about losing your work, do as I do, and copy and paste your answers into
a Word document, Notepad, e-mail to yourself, etc., so you have an electronic
copy as backup. I will be posting to the class blog on a weekly basis from now
on, so stay tuned and check back frequently!
Be reminded that you lose
participation points when you are caught on YouTube, Facebook, and similar
sites. You may listen to music on a site like www.grooveshark.com that does NOT have
videos. If music starts to interfere with your ability to complete your work or
stay on task, you will lose that privilege.

are the objectives for today: I can identify information from the Michigan Republican

Senator for my district (NOT US Representative or Senator). Tasks: click on the
following link to go to the Michigan
Republican Party’s website. Explore the site, Then, click on the following link to go to the Michigan Democratic
Party’s website. Explore the site. Then, in the comments box of the class blog,
list two things that the sites have in common and two things that are different
about the WEBSITE itself. Then, do a Google search for the current Michigan
