What do you know about the conflict between President Adams & VP Jefferson?


Pre-AP classes finished presenting their Branches of the Government projects and overall everyone did a good job researching and most did very well presenting, which can be very tough.


During the Regular classes, students displayed their knowledge over President Adams and Thomas Jefferson through an assessment. We talked about the Marbury v. Madison Supreme Court case and why Judicial Review is important. Just think of the "Official Review" during an NFL game.

There's some drama in the White House


Regular classes began working on their notes "Jefferson goes against President Adams" in class. Students will be able to see why there was drama in the White House during President Adams' term in office. President Adams and Thomas Jefferson allows some philosophical differences to get in the way of their friendship. Thomas Jefferson later on becomes President with a little help from an unexpected government official. Lastly, students will learn about an important Supreme Court case which gave full judicial power to the Supreme Court.
The video below is the very funny Hamilton v. Burr "Got Milk" commercial. Let me know what you think by leaving your comments.
