Organization/ Requirements/ Student Accountability

  • Being given the opportunity to Pick Your Path is a wonderful way to control and monitor learning. However, with such freedom also comes great responsibility. Regardless of the Path that is selected, students must remember the following:
  • Time management is essential for success
  • Class time must be used appropriately
  • All Paths must be completed by the deadline given by the teacher
  • Testing will cover all of the information from the unit regardless of the path you select.
  • The goal of personalized / differentiated instruction is for students to be allowed to monitor their own success. By providing options, students should see an improvement or maintenance of higher averages. However, as with all learning, the success of the instruction is dependent on self-motivation and a desire to achieve.

The Spirit of Laws, first published in 1750, is a detailed treatise on the structures and theory of government by French political philosopher Baron de Montesquieu. Unlike his well-loved Persian Letters, The Spirit of Laws scandalized the French-it was even banned by the Roman Catholic Church. The fact that it is hardly dated to modern readers is a testament to how revolutionary it must have seemed 250 years ago. Among its comparisons of different forms of governments, such as monarchies, despotic regimes, and republics, is the now-famous section on Montesquieu's concept of the separation of powers, dividing the ruling body into legislative, executive, and judicial branches. Also included is the author's thinking on slavery, religion in government, families and censuses, the influence of climate on politics and culture, and the making of laws.

John Locke laid the groundwork of modern liberalism. He argued that political societies exist to defend the lives, liberties and properties of their citizens, and that no government has any authority except by the consent of the people. When rulers became tyrants and act against the common good, then the people have the right of revolution against them. Writing against the backdrop of Charles II's savage purge of the Whig movement, Locke set out to attack fabric of the divine right of rulers. The rights of property– owners, of Native Americans, and of women and children, the need for economic improvement, the separation of commands, and the nature and limits of consent—these are all topics within Locke's compass, and make his book the subject of intense debate.
