I discuss how impeachment works and highlight what we know about President Trump's impeachment inquiry.   There is a PowerPoint which goes along with this discussion on Edmodo should you wish to follow along. 

I give some feedback on the gun violence podcast and name some of my favorite podcasts from this set.  I also give out an extra credit assignment for those who are interested.  Due no later than September 3rd in a message to me on anchor.  Thanks to those who put in a genuine effort to start a conversation this week.

This is your homework podcast for the week.  Be sure to write down the 10 Dos and Don'ts for part of your credit.  The podcast will tell you the assignment to complete afterwards.  I'm not sure how many times I said "you know", but I'm working on it.  Hopefully you can appreciate the overall sentiment regardless of my inability to find better transition phrases.  

The panel from the gun control discussion has a few spare thoughts after the podcast was finished.

I'm joined by Michael Stewart from Carman Ainsworth, Robert Fenton from Beecher, and Chief Green from the Mt. Morris Police Department to discuss the issue of gun violence.  Although we lost some of the audio, we discussed three questions:

What are your general feelings about gun control in the United States? 

What do you feel is the inherent cause of gun violence in America?

What is the best course of action to bring about political change in this issue?

I hope you enjoy listening and it will help you as you podcast about this sensitive topic. 

This is an extra credit podcast prompt focusing on whether politics unite or divide the nation.

Listen to my brief discussion on political consciousness and write down the instructions for the podcast you must create.

This can serve as an exemplar for the podcast I am asking you to make for your introduction assignment.  I hope you enjoy.

This will cover the basic definition of government and its purpose.
