Click icon to add picture

We did not get to see Mr. Deutsch’s totally rad

flowchart on how to amend the Florida Constitution.

We’re going to jump off topic now to handle that. If you have page 5 from Friday,

please get it out now.

二 ON THE LEVEL ARTICLE

We will be reading using the fill in the blank method.

This is an active listening method that requires you to read aloud whenever the teacher pauses.

Let’s try the first sentence as an example:“Can you name the President of the United

States?”

You may also underline or highlight if it will help you.

CHECK

states, but does not clearly outline the powers given to the

states).

CHECK

The word “delegate” means to take from or to take

away.

(FALSE—To delegate means to assign).

三 ON THE LEVEL ACTIVE PARTICIPATION

CHECK

The reason the federal government has “inherent powers” is so it can

interact with other nations.

(TRUE—The Constitution was mainly concerned with how the

federal government would handle domestic issues, so it enumerated

very few diplomatic/foreign issues).

federal government alone).

by the states.

(TRUE—State constitutions are responsible for

enumerating powers held by local governments.)

differently.

(TRUE—Because states are free to create their own local governments, each state does

this in a slightly different way.)
