Women in Congress and Issues on Racial Equality (Current Events 2019)
The 2018 mid-term election represented what was called a “blue wave" in politics. That blue wave resulted in a change of control in the House of Representatives from republicans to democrats. Along with this blue wave came an increase in the number of women in the house of representatives,. For many people the fact that more women were elected to congress represent a change in how congress will operate. Many believe that congress will work better with more women in office.

LP 10— Discuss/Explore Judicial Branch & 5th Amendment, French/Indian War Intro
Guided Reading Lesson Plan— plenty of fuel for instruction and discussion.

However, throughout the lesson, I maintain an array of numerous angles of perspective, so the context doubtfully will go missing.I have

LP 9— Explore 3rd & 4th Amendment, Discussion of Faction & Wstrn Christendom
Guided Reading Lesson Plan— abundant fuel for instruction and discussion.

The first two Amendments of the Bill of Rights are thoroughly discussed here, and then a finish by viewing the subject through a different historical lens.I have pioneered the "Rock Drill" method.
