Branches Alive from 1788 to Today

Directions:

1.   Divide paper into thirds.

2.   Label each section with a title of each of the branches.

3.   Each section should include:

• a colorful symbol to represent the power of that branch

• a creative chart or graph of facts and notes about that branch and its powers (see cards or textbook pages 130-137)…these should be in your own words and NOT simply copied from sources!

• a newspaper article clipping that demonstrates the power of that branch alive and well today.  Include a brief explanation why you feel this article applies to that specific branch.
