Midterm Preparation

I just spent the last two hours putting a PowerPoint Jeopardy review together for the mid-term. Unlike last time, I will not put the review on my website until after the game (and before the midterm) tomorrow. I can tell you that the midterm FRQ's will be on the following topics of which you may select TWO:

(A) Low Voter Turnout
(B) Presidential Primaries and National Party Conventions
(C) PAC's and influence on national policy making, and
(D) Congress and the War Powers Act and Budget Impoundment Control Act

See you tomorrow.

Wednesday

For tomorrow, pages 250-54 in Subato. There will be a quiz.
Following that, there be a short video on the Congress from the 1940's.
Then there will be a reading (solo reading) on Congress with questions of its "lack of effectiveness."

Subato Reading

The Subato reading for tonight is pages: 242 to 250. I believe I told you as you exited class today to read the next 10 pages. If people who don't have access to the blog do that, they will be fine for tomorrow. Also, strap yourselves in for a lecture tomorrow on the Congress.
