What am I (when it comes to politics)

Take a few minutes to take the quiz. At the end, you will get a description of who you are based on your answers to the questions. Post a comment based on what you found out about yourself. Be sure to comment on how these results compare with the results of the survey we took in class. Pay attention to how you responded to the question and the topic of the questions as this could only help when it comes time for us to take our Political Ideology quiz. This is an assignment and must be completed by the time we have class on Friday, March 24th.

For those of you who didn't complete your Constitution assignment, here's what you can do:


1) Come up with a question you have about some power given to our US government by the Constitution. Write your question.


2) Go do some research to answer your question. Write an amazing paragraph about what you found out that answers your question.


3) Write a reflection. Compose a second paragraph that explains how you feel about what you learned


Write this well and in your own words. Type it up into a paper that is probably 1/2 to 1 page in length and submit. I will score it out of 20 points and replace your 0 with this score for your Articles and Amendments assignment.


Enjoy,
Mr. Thompson
