We began class with a warm-up on the Elastic Clause in the constitution, and how it relates to the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).

As students worked on their warm-ups I collected their homework.

We then transitioned into looking at the specific powers held by the three branches of government.  Students read articles that somehow relate to one of the powers held by the government.  They recorded the following information onto their graphic organizers:

• the name of the article
• a brief summary of the article
• the branch of government and the specific power it holds that relates to the article.  Cite the paragraph and explain how it relates.

Honors should read and respond to 8 articles,  CP 6, and Academic 4
