408 - GOVERNMENT    (Mrs. Carr)         Rising Grades 11/12            ½ Credit

United States Government is a one-semester required history course that will examine the basic principles of our government: the Constitution, the workings of the legislative, the executive, and the judicial branches, and the sharing of power between the state and federal governments. A portion of the class is dedicated to discussion of the media, current events and political parties, as well as a further examination of constitutional principles as applied to today’s issues. Students must remain current on national events. The course will involve 9 days of required in-person attendance plus additional online lessons on your own with a final project due two weeks after the end of classes.

*Please note: This class is a fast-paced, condensed class in which one day reflects a week’s worth of work. 

Dates:  June 12-22 from 9:00 AM-1:00 PM in class on campus with a Final Project due on or before July 7. (Students with special circumstances or who may need to take part of the class virtually should contact Mrs. Carr before registering.) 

Required Textbook: 9780393538885, Ginsberg, et. al., We The People, Thirteenth Essentials ed., W. W. Norton & Company,  2022
