Lesson 26
overview of everything you've learned. NBD
Remember earlier in the first term of this course when I had you take the Citizenship test? I told you that if you got 100% I would give you extra credit. If you haven't taken the test already it is now required that you pass the citizenship test to graduate high school in the state of Utah. Our school pairs it with the U.S. History class, so you take it when you're enrolled in U.S. History.
I hope you've learned a lot about the government in this course, and I hope that you'll continue to stay politically active. Know what the issues are before you vote. Watch the news. Know what's going on domestically and internationally. The more you know about the world the better you understand it. When you're informed you can make better decisions. I've had you look up current events, and I've had you look at events from history. For your last assignment here's what I want you to do:
