Three+Branches+of+Government

Learning Unit #1
Hi Seniors!

In our first unit this year we are going to discover the foundations of our American government system. This particular learning unit is focused on the three branches of our federal government. Our system relies on three branches of government, Legislative, Executive, and Judicial. Complete the following online interactive activities to learn about the three branches of government.

Task #1 Create an online web diagram to chart the three branches using bubbl.us In the center box create a Federal Government label Next place a box for all three branches connected to the center Lastly create three facts you research online about each branch. (Helpful Wiki link on the branches) Example: Task #2 Choose one branch of government that interests you from your bubbl activity. Use the Internet to research that particular branch in depth and create an online interactive poster to present to the class using Glogster. Choose any topic that relates to that branch. The poster should include three facts, at least one picture, and a video. Here is an example that I have made for the Executive Branch and presidential powers. Example of Glog or see below.

Task #3 Now that you have researched one particular branch make an online presentation using Google presentations. Pretend you are educating a younger grade on the basics of the three branches of government. Outline these branches for them in an online presentation. Include at least 10 slides. I have included a very basic example for you to follow. Example of Google presentation

Task #4 Use Testmoz test generator to create a quiz for classmates related to your Google presentation. Your quiz will be more comprehensive as your presentation will be more in depth than our example. Example quiz. Go to [|testmoz.com/79507] enter code ABC123
