Poli Sci- Do I Have a Right

Your job today is to be a software evaluator.  Take 45 minutes to play Do I Have a Right on the iCivics webpage.  For the last 10 minutes of class, you should record your ideas on a half sheet of paper and tell me the following:
1. What did you think of the game overall?
2. What did you like about it?
3. What parts of the game could stand to be improved?
4. Would you be willing to try to evaluate more software from this website in the future?

Have fun over break and I will see you on Monday.

Poli Sci-Supreme Decision

Today you should check out the simulation "Supreme Decision" on the iCivis.org website.
Click on the following link to get there...
http://www.icivics.org

Once you get to that page, look for the option to play "Supreme Decision"
It should be on the right side as you scroll down.

To earn the unit for today you need to play the game twice and write a one paragraph review of the game.  In the review, highlight what is good about the game and what you feel could use improvements.  Lastly, tell me what you learned about the Supreme Court by playing the game.
