Social Studies Homework: What is Government?

Hello Portable 16 (Ms. Hopkins' Class), and Portable 18 (Mr. Darawal/ Ms. Nicholls' class) and welcome to our blog!

For today's homework, I would like you to talk to your parents and ask them the following questions:

1. What is government, and why is it so important?
2. What are some things that they do for us as citizens of Canada?

Afterwards, I would like you to write 2 simple paragraphs about what you have learned from your parents.  Your first paragraph should explain what government is and why it is important.  Your second paragraph should tell me at least 3 things that the government does for us.

NOTE: Please try to do your homework on proper lined paper.  Do not cut, rip, or fold the paper in any way after you are finished writing.

*Remember to include your name and today's date on your homework before you hand it in tomorrow.


Good luck!
