This year's study of Civics and Economics will allow eighth grade students to investigate real issues and current trends in politics and give them an in-depth understanding of how the government works at all three levels. The government portion of the course allows students an opportunity to study citizenship, the roots of American government, the three branches and their interaction with each other, politics and elections, and fundamental rights. The economics component of the course covers economic theory, as well as the government's intervention in the economy and the concepts of global trade, interdependence, and personal finance.

This page will serve for the year as the home page for the class. In class, students will primarily be using Google Classroom, but this page will be updated to reflect daily work, assignments, and other announcements. From here, parents and students can access different sections of the site (please use the __**menu at left**__ ) to find out what we've been doing in class, any homework the class may have, and download copies of classwork as needed. I will try to keep the site clean and as up-to-date as possible so that you can follow along with us through the year.

Thanks for tuning in. . . more great things to come.

Mr. Perry
