Unit II: Chapters 5, 6, and 7 Powerpoints

The following is a link to google docs. I have uploaded my powerpoint presentations for these chapters. If you would like to use them in class print them off so you can take notes from them. I will no longer make class copies. You may also use these to review for the test. I hope this helps. Comment on this blog if you have suggestions.

Funny!

I heard a great joke today! If pro is the opposite of con, than isn't the opposite of progress, congress? Ha! Ha! It has already been interesting to see how President Elect Obama is taking control before he is inaugurated. In January we will again be a country dominated by the Democratic party. It will be fascinating to see if it makes any difference at all. It needs to, and I believe that America is hopeful that we will see 'CHANGE'! Historically, however, (at least since 1968) we have become a country of divided government where we like to have one party in the executive branch and another that controls Congress. We will have to wait a couple of years. Only time will tell, but we may have hit a new era in politics! Hooray!
