Our 2nd Unit of Inquiry
As I've mentioned earlier in class, we are now moving on to another unit entitled GOVERNMENT. We haven't really moved away from the first unit 'Rights and Responsibilities' since this is closely connected to the Unit of Inquiry on 'Government'.
For your information, details on this unit are provided below;
Organizing theme: How we organize ourselves
Title: Government
Focus: History, Society
Central Idea: Over time, societies have developed a variety of governmental systems with the aim of benefiting and protecting the interests of its citizens.
An Inquiry into:
• Different models of government and their origins
• Systems within government
• Rights and responsibilities of citizens
• How governments change
Knowing the central idea and lines of inquiry in this unit will help you study in advance. Your exploration may be more in-depth depending on your individual research since you are encouraged to do a lot of reading and research in this unit.
