This course explores the structure and dynamics of the American government, providing a broad-based introduction to the ideas and institutions that shape politics in the contemporary United States. Students will develop critical thinking skills while debating a piece of legislation, analyzing a political cartoon, and discussing current events. My goal is for students to see how politics and government apply and relate to their lives through hands-on activities like writing a politician, discovering regulations, and forming their party. In class, we cover the founding of America, the Constitution, branches of government, landmark Supreme Court cases, political parties, and polling. This course aims to help each class member arrive at a deeper, more comprehensive understanding of the forces that shape the American government and politics. This fast-paced class requires at least 3-4 hours of homework per week if your student plans to take the CLEP. Homework should be 1-2 hours per week if they are not taking the CLEP and usually includes some combination of videos, written assignments, or research. A grade report is provided if requested BEFORE class begins. Week One & Week Two - American Foundations/Constitutional Convention Week One Homework - Constitutional Convention Simulation Week Two Homework - Research and find Who Represents You from the local to the federal level. Week Three - Article I - The Legislative Branch Week Three Homework - Write a letter to a politician about an issue you care about. Week Four - How to Read a Bill/How a Bill is Passed- Debate a Bill in Class Week Four Homework - Read about Advise the President and Be Prepared to Discuss in Class Week Five - Article II - The Executive Branch/Electoral College Week Five Homework - Political Cartoon Analysis Week Six - Article III - The Judicial System Week Six Homework – Landmark Cases Summarize Assigned Case and Make Slide Week Seven - Landmark Cases/Civil Liberties Week Seven Homework- Research Failed Amendments And Propose Which One Should Be Added Week Eight - Article V Ratification/Bill Of Rights/Other Amendments Week Eight Homework- Create Your Own Political Party Week Nine - Political Parties Week Nine Homework- Compare The Same Story from Different Media Perspectives Week Ten – Wrap Up: Media Bias, Polling *The live course will help give a foundation for those wishing to CLEP this class for college credit or be for high school government credit. CLEP (College Level Examination Program) is a test that you would register for and take after the class is complete. There is an additional cost for the test, but I will provide information about possible vouchers. If the student receives a passing grade on the test, they will be eligible for college credit at MANY (not all) universities. The course will cover the five areas in the exam, but more studying is recommended if taking the test. The instructor will provide suggestions for studying and additional resources.
