This week we will continue our study of the functions of government. Since we have examined major domestic policies and how they are made, we will begin our focus on foreign policy and national security. We will look closely at how the power of the president seems to grow during a time of war, and how Congress will take that power away once a conflict is over. We will look at the struggle between national security and individual rights. We will also view the Academy Award winning film, THE FOG OF WAR, a documentary narrated by former Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara. Permission slips will be distributed on Monday. Towards the end of the week we will shift our focus to the rights, responsibilities, and the role of citizens.
Students should continue to read towards their AR goals every day!
