Overview

Throughout this lesson, you will learn about how governments are set up. You will begin by examining three statements about government and decide which two statements are true and which one is false. Then, you will read an article about governments and fill out a T-chart as you read. Next, you will go on a Google Earth tour and learn about countries' governments from the past and present to determine whether the government is classified as limited or unlimited. You will then read several quotes about government and pick two that stand out to you. Finally, you will create a Venn diagram to assess your understanding of limited and unlimited governments.

Objectives and Goals

Examine three statements to determine two truths and a lie about what powers the government can have.

Procedure

The first part of the lesson is to get you thinking about powers that different governments might have. In Padlet, read the three statements. Two statements are true and one is false. Decide which two statements are true and which one is false. Below each statement, add a comment to indicate whether you think the statement is true or false and explain your reasoning for your choice.
