Three Branches

This week, in Social Studies, we are working on the learning standard, 4.1.4.7.1: The United States government has specific functions that are determined by the way that power is delegated and controlled among various bodies: the three levels (federal, state, and local) and the three branches (legislative, executive, and judicial) of government.

We started by watching three short videos about the three branches of government. The links are on the right and down below.

Now we are making a mind map of what we learned about. This is what Ms. Leom wrote on the board. Students are making their own individual posters.
