2. CNN 10 

Let's check out what's in the news. 

3. Who are Your Congress Members? 

• Put your address in this website to find out who represents you in Congress or use the embedded map below
• If you prefer to see who our school's rep is, Twain's address is 6402 Linda Vista Road, San Diego, CA 92111
• Once you've figured out your Congress members, find them on Twitter 

• Make a list of the major events/issues they've discussed in their last twenty tweets
• Are the pro or against the major events/issues?
• Decide with your table. 

4. The Congress Profile Project

• We are in our LAST three weeks, but we still have several projects to complete. 
• The first is our Congress Profile Project. 
• There is a document in Google Classroom called "Congress Profile Project" that you will need to access.
