Quiz make-up

    • Those people who need to make up a quiz can do that.
    • Note that you can also make up quizzes before school (ODD days) or during 5th or 7th.
    • So is there anyone who needs to make up the Chapter 1 quiz?

The main event

    • Periods have been shortened this year—not an ideal schedule to prepare you for the AP exam.
    • So we will try to cover some of the materials I had to leave out due to shorter periods.
    • No new assignments, nothing graded.
    • BUT there will usually be opportunities to earn DCA points and pad your grade.
    • Extension comes at the end of a long day, so I will rarely talk at you. Instead, we’ll generally do stuff that is more active.

Restrictions

    • I still have to take attendance. You still have to be here on time. Tardies still erode your DCA score.
    • You are marooned here. If another teacher really, really wants to see you, that teacher needs to email me. Otherwise, you’re stuck with me.

Traditional Democratic Theory

Robert Dahl

 

Pluralism, hyperpluralism, and elite theory are descriptive theories. They attempt to describe how the American political system actually functions.

Dahl’s traditional democratic theory is a prescriptive theory. It sets out conditions that we should strive to meet if we want a true democracy.
