Order out of chaos

Today we started to talk about government in the ancient world and today.  I showed a brief film clip of several famous people reading the Declaration of Independence.  We talked about why we have government/what government does and how government is an evolutionary process.

We also started to discuss what it means to be a citizen.  If any parents out there are lawyers, or know any lawyers, students had many questions about citizenship that I could not answer very well.  I would love the opportunity to forward some of the students questions to an expert for better answers.

Homework is to keep studying for Thursday's Test

I am an attorney at the Lake County Prosecutors Office. I work in the criminal and appeals division and would be happy to help.
