This afternoon we reviewed the branches of government. We started by finishing the reading in Counterpoints pp. 227-237. We watched this video to solidify our learning. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=638469686833232. (Just x out the facebook login and you should be able to access it).
From there we discussed cabinet, the Party Whip, Free Votes and caucus.
We then discussed the law making process or how a bill becomes a law. We filled in a chart on this. To help us with the chart and understand the process better we watched two videos:

We finished up starting to differentiate between the US and Canadian Government systems.
