GOVERNMENT!!!

The past two weeks we have been learning about the different types of governments!  We will have a test over the governments on Friday, January 26th!  Students need to study their foldable and the reading.  They need to know what each government is about and the advantages and disadvantages.  Students created a government foldable and participated in an activity in which they walked around the room and identified various governments of the world.  Here are a few examples of what we learned the past two weeks!









Monarchy

Dictatorship

Presidential Democracy

Single-Party State

Theocracy
