Government

Legislative Branch

In this activity we picked out of a hat the letters L,J,and E l standing for Legislative Branch j for Judicial and e being Executive Branch. The branch I did was the Legislative Branch. my group had lots of boys and two girls including me. During this project I learned that the Legislative branch helps pass laws and makes sure mr. president is being fair with his choices.

Hippo Government

During this project we made a government of your choice and wrote a constitution on it. my government was about hippos and their school. I had a rough start ,but I re-wrote it and it turned out ok. all the hard work paided off. In my constitution hippos would get cupcakes, brownies, cookies, cake, or spinach for their lunch.

Social Studies Reflection

I enjoyed these projects a lot because it allowed you to work in a group and find out everyone's opinion on the skit, play or some kind of explanation of your branch. I learned that everyone needs to cooperate or everything will go wrong. People cant goof off it isn't fair to the other team mates after they worked so hard. Writing this constitution helped me understand more about the governments job. I would rather be making laws. I learned that the government needs to be fair with their choices through the people.
