I am comparing Mr.Smith to Rodney Davis. I didn't get this information online but when he came to speak to the school, Rodney Davis told us a story of how when he decided he wanted to go into politics, no one believed he could do it. He even lost a few races. However, eventually he made it and became extremely successful in Congress. Many people like him. This is like Mr. Smith because everyone laughed at him when he became an honorable senator. They said he had no chance and could not do it. He proved them wrong by fighting for the camp and he talked for over 24 hours until the other man finally confessed .

I think Mr.Smith would be more democratic because he wanted something for the middle class to have that they could not have had on their own before. He was fighting for a team of boys to have their own camp. Without this camp, parents probably wouldn't have been able to send their kids to a camp over the summer. This would help them be able to do that. This is democratic because democrats are usually for helping the middle class with economics as well as wanting free college, etc. I think Mr. Smith did continue on in politics because I think he realized he really had a talent for persuading people and helping other people.

I liked the entire movie, although I didn't like the ending. I liked that Mr. Smith tried to fight for such a good cause, the boys camp, considering most politicians want to be greedy and fight for something either irrelevant or something to only boost themselves up. Mr. Smith stood for over 24 hours to stall until the word had reached his hometown. He was never confident he could make it as a senator but this was something he was so passionate about that he wanted to try his hardest to make this happen for the young boys.

I do not support an amendment making burning the American Flag constitutional. I think this can be highly hurtful to people that have military families. We are supposed to be pledging allegiance to the flag every morning. I think that if you want to go home and burn the flag in your own house, that's your decision. But in a public setting like a school this should be illegal out of respect for the military

I think reading it did more for me. Reading it you absorb the information more and get more out of it. If you're watching a video, you don't listen to it as clearly as you would read it.

I liked the part of the declaration in the beginning where they talk about the rights of all people and then the end talking about becoming independent states and their own country away from Great Britain.

I think that it was wrong that they had such a hard time with getting a job or an education just because of their gender. They can do what males can do too. It shouldn't be based on which gender you are. It should be based on their strengths.

I think this year will be very interesting in this class due to the Election and everyone's opinions on the subject.

I think that the expectations of the class will differ between people. I think this will help the teacher get a good grasp of what the students 1. Think Civics is and 2. What people know/need to still learn.

Election 2016 thoughts: This is a good way to see where people stand and what we need to watch when discussing, as some students hold strong opinions that could contradict each other and cause arguments. This question could give the teacher an idea of who believes what and how to avoid an argument.

I don't really like any of the choices this Election year. However, If I had to choose, I would probably vote for Hillary.

While Hillary has made some major mistakes, so have many of our previous presidents. While Trump may or may not be as bad as it seems he would be, He's just not ready to be President.

The President has to know what to tell the public and what to keep the public in the dark about. Trump doesn't seem to have this capability. This could get us in a lot of trouble. Hillary has gotten us out of a lot of trouble in the past, with other help of course.
