Welcome!
I am Coach Vanderberg, and I am excited to embark on this Civics Journey. My "planning period" is 10:29-11:24 A.M.
In our 1st week, Week 0, we will show Neville's history and explain the rules and procedures. Each student will be given a syllabus. Once the students receive their Chromebooks, we will begin Unit 1: Foundations of the United States Government. Reminder, Monday is freshmen only and Tuesday is all grades.
Week 1: Students will learn about the purpose and types of government.
Week 2: We will explore the social contract by Locke and Hobbs, power sharing, bicameral/unicamel legislation, and the founders concern about direct democary.
Week 3: Students will be introudced to the three branches of government and have their Topic 1 Test on Thursday.
