Impeachment

After submitting our work from yesterday, here are the questions and materials that will guide our discussion today. 

• If you were a member of the House of Representatives, would you be likely to vote to impeach the president based on what you have learned?
• Is your opinion changed by either of these editorials?
• “Gordon Sondland Leaves Us With No Other Option” and “Trump Is Doing Exactly What He Was Elected to Do.”
• Yesterday, the House Intelligence Committee issued its report on the Impeachment Inquiry.  Skim the Executive Summary below. Does it enhance or change your mind?
• Executive Summary of Impeachment Report

Impeachment?

Today we'll try to make sense out of the current status of the impeachment inquiry happening in the U.S. House of Representatives.
First, we'll write and share our thoughts about each of these questions:

• Have you been following the impeachment inquiry in the House of Representatives? If yes, have you formed an opinion about the accusations made against President Trump? 
• Do you ever talk with your family or friends about the impeachment inquiry? What are their perspectives?
• How comfortable do you feel talking about the impeachment inquiry? What makes you feel this way?

Next, we'll watch this video to learn a bit more about how impeachment works:

Then, with a partner, we'll use this worksheet to gather information and gauge our understanding:
