Monday - we went over Friday 5, spent time working on either the glaciation review sheet or connections model work.  I did some review using some photos particularly talking about striations and moraines. 

Tuesday we continued working on our glaciation sheets, we started to go over them as we reviewed some ideas and vocab.  We did some notes and are in the process of finishing up glaciation.  Please find the slides and videos below.

Tuesday - we talked about the law making process, made a diagrammed set of notes on how a bill becomes a law, watched a couple of videos on this and worked on completing Senate Questions. We finished off assigning roles for the simulation and got both the bill and a hand out on our role.  Reminder that there is a test on Friday and the review sheet is on the blog.
