3. Present Group Charts on Principles of Democracy 

• Last week you worked with your groups to make charts in your journals that show the different principles of democracy and how OUR governments are doing (using this lesson from our book)
• Many of your charts are unfinished, but today is our last day to spend time on this topic.
• Blue table: United States Government 
• Purple table: California Government 
• Green table: San Diego Government 
• Yellow table: United States Government 

Here are some links to help you (But you can do your own outside research, too):
