CriticalThinking

Students utilized multiple resources to gather information and draw conclusions based on the information gathered. This was done when students analyzed what our country would be like without a branch of government. They took the information they gathered from several sources and presented a conclusion with examples and evidence showing a clear understanding of the value of their branch of government. The students applied their knowledge to a real world problem when they researched a current event and concluded and reflect on if it is possible for that situation to happen in our country based on our government structure. In both cases of analysis, students were responding to question with multiple solutions that required them to reflect on what they had learned and use higher order thinking skills to create a well supported argument about what our country would be like with out a branch of government and if the current event they selected could occur in the United States.
