It was block scheduling, so if you missed one day, you missed two days worth of assignments.
1. Write your journal
2. You are going to have to make two campaign posters. One for a candidate and one for an issue. These can be fictitious or real. Each poster must have a slogan or title and a picture.
3. Make a list of 10 media sources where you (yourself) get information.

We finished watching Mr. Smith Goes to Washington today. Though you didn't get to see the end, in a shocker, Mr. Smith wins and Senator Paine confesses he was doing to bidding for Jim Taylor. I would like you to write a 1/2 page reaction to the movie. Here are some questions you can answer to help you write 1/2 page about it. Was this a good movie? Why or Why not? What does it have to do with government? What did you learn from the movie? Should this be required viewing for all government classes? Why or why not?

Wednesday and Thursday October 6 and 7, 2010
Today is block scheduling. You must write your journal, and must read Chapter 8: Mass Media and Public Opinion, pages 206-230, and complete the section assessments on pages 212, 221, 230. You have to remember, when you miss a block schedule day, you are really missing two days for this class. That is why it appears to be lots of work.

Today we made political posters. You see them all around town. They want you to vote for a candidate or for a certain issue. You need to make two posters. One is for a candidate (the candidate can be a past president, you, or a made-up candidate), and another is for an issue (gun control, abortion, gay marriage, or any other issue you can think of). Each poster can be on a regular piece of paper. The poster must be in color, and there must be a HEADING, PICTURE, and SLOGAN for each poster.
