Two days ago in History - how I feel I will start most of these blog posts - was dedicated to taking notes on the powers of the Executive Branch. We all recieved copies a copy of the plans regarding the presidency debate and a grid, left to interpret the strange blanks in the document using only our imagination and context. Even though the three plans only filled up one side of the sheet, it took a lot longer to unwravel what they were talking about. Did they already talk about impeachment, or did they not mention it at all? To this day, I still have absolutely no clue what "resd." stands for, nor what "aforesaid" means.
Flash forward to today, when we take what we learned from the Executive branch and combined it with what we learned from the Legislative branch. Lots of cutting, glue, and coloring, which I was probably too happy about. In my defense, it actually helped me get a better understanding of how the different branches interconnect.
The next thing on the agenda was to make a infographic - which we had to do on good ole lined paper instead of Rachel's snazzy laptop. You can see it on the below post, can't you? The branches represent, well, the branches, and the leaves branch off from them, describing the powers that each branch has. In case you were confused.
