On the back of the Vocab worksheet, I want you to create a spider diagram of the US Federal Government.  The diagram is required to contain the three branches of government, the two houses of Congress, the Chief Executive, the three levels of federal courts, and don't forget to include the terms of office, and qualifications for each part;

1.  Turn in your spider diagram papers in black tray (if you did not already do so);
2.  A few questions over pages 7-10;
3.  Atlantic Wall...instead of watching a video about it, I decided you can read about it instead!  You will either use the laptops in the classroom or go to Open Lab depending on the block and research the Atlantic Wall.  The Atlantic Wall was the German attempt to fortify Europe.  Your assignment is to...

• you are to create a document describing at least two of the defensive aspects of the Atlantic Wall;
• you are to provide a description as well as how it was intended to work;
• you will also need to provide a minimum of two images of the wall and the defensive aspects you have described;
• I do not expect a book, but I DO EXPECT quality work!  This will be a project grade worth 25 points;
• When you are finished, save to the Common Drive:  Color Printing:  Wheeler.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
