3 Quiz Taking Procedures You cannot talk during any part of the test, even if you are finished. The timer will be posted at the front of the room. If you are done, raise your hand and sit quietly. I will come and take your quiz from you.

5 Discussion Question (remember to raise your hand) When you’re at a party, do you like being in control of the music? Or do you like others to be in control of the music? Why? Which is easier? Which is more fun?

6 Types of Government  Today we are going to focus on different types of government and the different ways they make decisions  Music will be selected based on the type of government we are discussing  You will take “Cornell Notes” as the music plays.  You should have a song list at your table

7 Directions  While the music is playing, you are to copy down the type of government and the information next to it  In between each song, Mr. Dunklow will explain what to do next  Only part of the song will be played
