Today I will talk to you about our latest topic: The three branches of government. They are the Legislative, Judicial, and Executive. We learned that the Legislative branch creates laws/bills. The Executive enforces the laws. And finally, Judicial interprets the law. The way we remember them is legislative and law both start with L, Executive and enforce both start with E, and Judicial and judge both start with J.
To learn about these branches, we did a round-robin which is where we got into groups and were assigned a branch to study to research, make a web, and make a poster about. Then after we all made our posters we walked around and made webs of all the branches we did not study (before we made our posters we made a web of our branch). That way we learned all the details about each branch, their duties, their powers, and how they're organized.
Right now, we are writing the biggest essay of our life (I might be exaggerating a teeny-weeny bit)!!!!! So far, we have just done part of our writing map outline. Then we will type them. They're gonna be monster essays! Bye!
