The expectation is that you will be going through this, and any review of this material will have to be decided upon a meeting time after school, as we will not have the time to cover this amount of info during school next week.

Here is what you will be doing this week:

Monday:

• Look at the Handout: Who is Canada Modelled After. ou can create your own google doc (there is a PDF copy in google classroom, which also has the two sources that you will need) or you can write down the information in your notes.Use the following websites to help fill in the following information in the chart. This is to be done ON YOUR OWN.

• Enlightenment Democracy
• Influence of the Enlightenment on American Democracy
• Canada's System of Government
