Welcome back to your FINAL YEAR AT LAG!! As the title of this course suggests, you will be participating in government during this class. What exactly does that mean? You will not only gain an increased understanding of our Constitution and how our government operates, but you will be able to apply your enhanced knowledge to current (and past) political, social and economic situations that face(d) our country and ultimately the international community. A stress will be placed on the Midterm Election as well as relevant current events. This class will also help prepare you for what will be expected of you in college. Throughout the semester, you will: *communicate ideas through increased participation in class discussions about current events and politics *improve listening , note-taking, information literacy and writing skills *analyze and synthesize varied sources of information, citing sources accurately using a recognized and accepted system when necessary.
