Today in our seminar on public events we talked about Joe Bidens' new plan to have 200,000 people vaccinated by his first 100 days in office, The problems that are happening at the southern border, and the Texas legislature. Then we read some pages from The Constitution from American Government 101 and The Infographic Guide to American Government that talked about the judicial system of the American government. After the readings, we played a game on Icivics about the different types of courts. The game was an interesting way to learn about the purpose of the different types of courts.
In the afternoon we started by looking at the Texas judicial branch. We learned about the different types of courts and why our judicial system is way more complicated than the judicial systems in the other states. Then we looked at judges in our court system and took notes on who they are and what powers they have. We are using this information to make a sheet with information about all the different parts of our local government.
