Agenda
All Classes
1) Political Spectrum Survey
Students completed the Political Spectrum Survey. The 20 items represent Public Policy/Agenda concerns. The students arranged themselves according to political persuasion based on the results of the survey. The lesson, beyond self-discovering roughly where they fit politically, we discussed breaking down the barriers created by labels "Democrat," "Republican," "Liberal," and "Conservative."

2) The Role of Political Parties
Using last night's homework, we reviewed key points about National Party organization, especially precincts, wards, and voting districts.
