Youtube Clips on State of the Union

We're going to be taking a look at these in class tomorrow, but if you want to watch them in their entirety, they are available on YouTube on the White House's channel (whitehouse).  YouTube video's enable viewers to leave comments about each of the video, and often these comments often employ inappropriate language and/or feature crazy ideas.  Please view at your discretion.  Again, this isn't an MHS website so we don't have any control of YouTube.  :(  Potty mouths and all.

An apology and a new calendar

Two of your fine classmates stopped by yesterday afternoon to chit-chat and brought up the fact that I've been remiss in updating the blog.  They were absolutely correct.  Sorry.  I'm glad that some of you are using it to check in on assignments, etc., and I know that it's easier for some of you to get homework calendars and reminders on here versus in class.  I'll redouble my efforts now that we are into Quarter 3.

IMPORTANT - SAVE THE DATE!  We will be having our CAPT morning review session on Friday, March 18th.  We're still working out where this will take place, but I'll be bringing coffee, juice and some other breakfast items for you.  We've got from 7:30 to 10:30am, which is a long stretch of time, but we will take a few breaks and some time to enjoy breakfast.  Please mark the date in your calendars/planners/cell phones now.

	State of the Union and setting policy agendas.  EQ:  How go political goals mesh with the national interest? HW:  Read Pgs. 434-463, and do the terms on Pg. 463.		The Budget. EQ:  How does the budget reflect our national goals and mood? HW due:  Terms from Pg. 463. HW:  Read Pgs. 466-500, and do the terms on Pg. 500.  I might have some additional reading questions for you too.

Note:  Next week’s calendar is going to be a little weird because of CAPT.  I’ll keep you appraised of what’s going on.  We are starting to get to crunch time, we’ve got to finish the Judiciary and then personal rights before the test.  If you are going to get a review guide to use, now might be the time to buy one if you haven’t already.  I would suggest going up through all of the stuff that we’ve done already.

Okay, that's all.  See you bright and early tomorrow morning!
