Homework: I checked reading notes on the first China packet (handed out last week) in class today. Reading notes on the second China packet are due Friday.
-If you need to make up the Greece and Rome test we took on Friday, and you have not done so already, you MUST make it up after school tomorrow (Thursday, 11-4) if you have not done so already. Please remember that students are responsible for taking the initiative to make up all work and tests they miss when absent.
Do Now, Tuesday, 11-2:
Today is Election Day in the United States. Please answer one or both of the following questions:
1. What type of government do we have in the U.S.? Describe who holds political power and how political leaders are selected.
2. Compare and contrast the way U.S. political leaders are selected and come to power with the way China’s emperors came to power during China’ s dynasties.
(Please note: China’s system of government has changed since the dynastic period. Today, China is controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. The last Chinese emperor gave up power in 1912, and communist leader Mao Zedong took control of China in 1949).
