b) Sketch's wonderful website reviews the terms for Autocracy & Democracy. However, Sketch was a tricky one sometimes. She might have purposely placed wrong information in some of her definitions for the Autocracy & Democracy terms. In addition, avoid being an academic robot and be sure to write the terms using your own words. Students cannot and should not want to compete with copy machines. Hence, do not just copy definitons onto your worksheet. In short, be a human, think, look up definitions from various sources (Sketch's website and your book are only two sources) and then write the definitions for each term in your own words. This is pretty basic stuff. Good luck and have fun thinking!
c) Bring an egg to class tomorrow and ask Mr P to demonstrate Eggs in the Balance.
