At the beginning of class we went over the forum topics for the week they were the flying car, candy crush saga, storms through the Midwest. Following that we went over the maps. Then we talked about our non-map test that we could potentially be having later this week. Next we went back to talking about the core beliefs of the Tea Party. They believe in multiple things about how illegal immigrants are bad, they also believe that the military needs to be very strong. The following below is what they believe in also.
