Intro PowerPoint to Government
Okay, this is a bit of a personal risk because not everyone (not even close to everyone) is going to agree with what I have up here for my Constitutional Foundations PowerPoint. But I should say that my students always do quite well on the AP exam despite demographics that would indicate otherwise. So, now that I am learning Google Docs, I will occasionally post some PowerPoints and assignments which is exactly what we do for new teachers in my department so that they can do well their very first year. If you wanted to download this one, just click on "menu" and then where it has the title "Intro Terms" you can right click and then "save as" to your desktop and then do what you want with it - or not! Below is a tutorial on how to make a Google Docs PowerPoint (or you can do to the US History Blog and see it right now). By the way, I only slightly change this for regular government since it is just an outline. Also since Google Docs allows changes to be made, this will be updated as I make my changes this year (and I always do that). (Pictures from Sabato/O'Connor and Magelby)
