I expect this class to be similar to economics in relation to the work load. I know there are the daily quizzes and the difficult tests we will have to pass. I expect to learn more about the government since I have a general understanding of it currently.
2. How would you describe your level of interest in current events/politics?
I would say I have a medium to higher interest in politics and current events because I actively watched the presidential debates in the past year and my dad typically has the news on every morning so I tend to get interested and watch it with him.

After video: I still agree that the tariff is a good idea because it encourages people to buy from businesses in the United States instead of from foreign countries.  ]]> 2018-01-26 17:25:34 UTC https://padlet.com/cdooley18/3rvd7zrtj10z/wish/225152160 cdooley18 https://padlet.com/cdooley18/3rvd7zrtj10z/wish/225165877 After listening, I found it was interesting how both women became a part of the Supreme Court. They had to prove themselves worthy for so many years and it finally paid off. ]]> 2018-01-26 17:56:44 UTC https://padlet.com/cdooley18/3rvd7zrtj10z/wish/225165877 cdooley18 https://padlet.com/cdooley18/3rvd7zrtj10z/wish/230126992 1) I think I better understood the Declaration when I read it because I was able to look up words I did not understand. Also, when reading it, I could re-read sentences and paragraphs I did not understand. 

2) My favorite part of the Declaration was the last sentence stated because it made it have a powerful ending. ]]> 2018-02-09 17:41:34 UTC https://padlet.com/cdooley18/3rvd7zrtj10z/wish/230126992 cdooley18 https://padlet.com/cdooley18/3rvd7zrtj10z/wish/237060342 In the first story, I found it really inspiring when he said he didn't even realize how much support he was receiving after he found out Mr.Hill filled out a scholarship for him. It makes me happy to hear stories like this because it reminds me that there are still good people in this world.
How it relates:
This can relate to physics because we are learning about our amendments and the bill of rights spell out the rights we have as people. He had the right to equal opportunity in his school (even though he didn't feel like that was the case at the time) and Mr.Hill helped him to receive those opportunities. ]]> 2018-03-01 17:38:38 UTC https://padlet.com/cdooley18/3rvd7zrtj10z/wish/237060342 melindabilyeu https://padlet.com/cdooley18/3rvd7zrtj10z/wish/237181506 I think you meant Civics but it says physics and that gave me a chuckle for the Story Corp connection : )]]> 2018-03-01 20:45:19 UTC https://padlet.com/cdooley18/3rvd7zrtj10z/wish/237181506
