they can use the flash cards to study.

Summative Assessment-
-Government Story
Students will create a story taking place in the far future in which they live in the
United States that resembles nothing like the United States today. The United States
is ruled by the Elite Consortium (EC), a group of people that are in no way
representatives of the citizen of the United States and oppress its people. The EC has
destroyed all knowledge of the Constitution. It is up to the character the students
create to help inform the citizens of a document known as the United State
Constitution and its characteristics to help overthrow the EC and establish a
representative government. This will display the students overall knowledge of the US
Constitution and government.
