Understanding our Federal Government Horizontally
Good Morning/Afternoon! Today we will be studying our Federal government horizontally, which will help you a great deal to better understand multiple levels of our government because these levels (State, County, Municipal) tend to be modeled on the Federal system. Our lesson will begin today with what will be, I hope, for most of you, a review on which we will add layers of complexity together. We will begin today by watching the BrainPOP video entitled, "Branches of Government". You are welcome to do this alone or in a small group with students in your area. When you finish watch the clip below about the relationship between the State and Federal levels of government in the United States. You may now play the SORTIFY GAME (wahoo!) in BrainPOP to test your understanding of the responsibilities of the different branches of our federal government. Thanks!
