Those in We the People will become knowledgeable in the Constitution and tying it into current events. Students in the class are expected to participate in the district competition, with hopes of making it to the State competition, or even Nationals!
There are 6 units. Each unit prepares for a mock Congressional Hearing. At the hearing, teams give 4 minutes of testimony followed up by 10 minutes of questions. Students who take the class become better public speakers and critical listeners to other stances on issues.
Second semester we turn the focus to the parts of the AP Government curriculum. Students are expected to take the AP test in May.
