1. What did I work on? 
  1. During this unit, I worked on 
  1. Understanding different types of governing 
  1. Comparing ancient Greek democracy to modern USA democracy 
  1. Understanding how and why rules and laws change over time. 
  1. Researching US amendments and UN articles about human rights 
  1. Participating in a Socratic seminar discussion about the causes and effects of amendments/articles and how they are connected to each other.  
  1. What did I learn? I learned how and why does democracy changes over time. 
  1. How does democracy change over time? 
  1. It changes because representatives change, and they introduce new laws and change how things are done. Also, laws end because they don’t meet modern day requirements and are terminated. 
  1. Why does democracy change over time? 
  1. It changes because of times and changing and because the future requires different things and the government needs to adapt to these changes by creating new laws and ending old ones. 
  1. What worked well? 
  1. I am proud of the following work connections, and my research booklet and comparing ancient democracy and modern democracy. 
  1. I am proud of the work above because it forced me to think creatively to find similarities between 2 things and forced me to research information. 
  1. What did not work well? 
  1. I found some of this work challenging, the U.S bill of rights. 
  1. I found the work above challenging because it made me think a lot about the similarities and if they are really that similar.  
  1. Personal Relevance 
  1. Research skills and listening skills are important in my future because being able to research in college will be a huge advantage because I will need to learn information for writing different things and can help me learn so much.
