Test on Tuesday -- What I Wrote on the Board Last Week

I am posting this in case anyone forgot to copy the information from the board to the right into your agenda (part of your class start-up procedure that we learned at the beginning of the year). Study the following for Tuesday's test:

• The process of a bill becoming law (see pages 120-121 in your textbook)
• GLE #28 crossword, given in class last week, see below on this blog
• GLE #29 -- your notes, presentation on the iDisk if you need it

Good luck! :-)

GLE #25 Example Law

Here is an example of what I want as a law on Tuesday. Be concise but thorough.

GLE #25 Assignment

We will discuss the GLE #25 assignment tomorrow in class. If you lose your handout you may access it here or on the iDisk:

The law is due next Tuesday, giving you one week to complete the assignment.
