Executive Branch
Mario, Felice, Hunter, Christina, Tyler, and
I were chosen to put on a performance to explain to the class
what the Executive Branch was. Our group decided to write a
short play. In it, our play was a parody of the old play "A
Christmas Carol". There was a president who didn't know
what to do in the office, so the ghost of George Washington,
John
Adams, and Abe Lincoln come and help him!

In class one of our projects was to create a
short constitution for anything such as a city or island. I
chose an unique place to write a constitution for. Hippo-Oceana
is
an
under
water
city
where fish rome the land. In our constitutions we had to explain
how the government is set up, and how decisions are made, like
laws and an army. This project was pretty tricky, but it is
still worth doing again.

Reflection
Through all the fun activities
we have did on this study, I have learned the difficulty of writing
a constitution that will not fall apart in a few years. Also
I learned about the government in the united states today,
and the government in other countries. Through our skit activity
I
learned the depth of the three branches of government in the
United States. Like I said, writing a constitution for a whole
new country
is pretty tricky. You have to think of elections, a militia,
and even a way to set up laws. Hopefully in the future I learn
even more about different governments because this is truly cool. |
