So yesterday we presented. I think our group did really good. We were well prepared and I think we all did a good job of explaining our topic. Our play was short, but I think it explained everything pretty well. Mr. Bruns also showed us how to post a project to our page. The first presentation is Democracy. Student Definition: Direct Democracy People vote on things directly instead of voting for representatives. Countries with Democracy: Norway, Icelnad, Denmark, Sweden, New Zealand, Australia, Switzerland, Canada, Finland, Netherlands, United States, Ireland, and Spain. Cleisthenes father of Democracy. Representative Democracy: Pick representatives that vote on policies instead of voting directly. Democracy: A goverment where the people vote either on decisions or representatives. Democrats and Republicans in United States democracy. Communism.
