This class will be GREAT! I know a lot of teachers tell you all that their class is going to be fun and awesome, but I promise you, this will be. In this course we will cover a multitude of topics within politics!
When students hear the word "politics", many of them are instantaneously driven to boredom, I was that way when I was first starting high school! Somewhere at the end of my sophomore year of high school I started hearing about Donald Trump, Hilary Clinton, and Bernie Sanders -- they were the big presidential candidates that everyone had been talking about! Only problem was, I knew NOTHING!!! So I took it upon myself to take a political science class at my local community college, begin reading watching the news and reading scholarly articles, and talking to my (soon-to-be) government teacher about all that I was reading! I had a sudden interest, and my career goal from then on was to become a politician; I later decided that instead of being in the political eye, I wanted to educate students about government, elections, political controversy, and social issues -- it can't hurt to be knowledgable of the world around you! |
