The "Who Governs You?" Project:
We are all governed at a variety of levels. It is your job to
do some internet research and phone-book looking to find out who governs you at the following levels
and in the following bodies and organizations. You will be asked to demonstrate
this information in two ways.
First you will be asked to fill out and turn in this form, filling
in all the names as appropriate. (30 points, you will lose one point for every
answer left blank or incorrect.) I obviously don't care if you work
together and "cheat" - how can I stop you? If you did all the
research yourself, I recommend you charge people
for the information (sell sealed envelopes for $3 the day it's due)... or work
as a team, for free. Or do it by yourself and guarantee it gets done
right. I won't accept photocopies. On the other hand, I do recommend
these sites:
Find Your CA State Legislator and
Find
Your US House Representative. Secondly, you will be given a no-notes test on this information.
Every position with an asterisk (*) marking it is one you must know. For
repeated positions (such as Assistant Principal or City Councilmember) you only
need to know one of the names for the test - your choice. The test is worth 25 points. You will have to memorize.
