Main Course:



Turn in your presidential callouts if you did not turn in Monday

On your chart paper you will put the list of cabinet department and their responsibilities (in your own words)-you will find this in Chapter 10-pp276-279. Be creative on your chart paper with your departments. You will present to the class today (time permitting). You will select one person in your group as president and create a skit that goes along with your departments. Each person should have a part since there are 15 cabinet positions.
