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.
Activity:
AP Government –Here are the objectives for today: I can summarize the State of the Union Address. I can discuss the question Trump has raised about Ted Cruz’s birth. Tasks: click on the following link to go to The Huffington Post to watch the highlights of the State of the Union Address. Use it to complete the handout you were given on Wednesday. If you need more information from the SOTU Address, you will need to do it for homework, or watch the entire SOTU Address after you complete part two of today’s assignment. Next, click on the following link to go read an article about the Republican Presidential Debate from last night. Write a one-paragraph summary explaining the question that Trump has raised about Ted Cruz’s birth. Why is it an issue and do you think it is valid? Why is Trump bringing it up?
