TRANSCRIPT
Directions:
Each partnered pair will be assigned a set of primary and secondary sources that connect to units from
the 3rd quarter. You and your partner will choose 5 primary or secondary sources and create 5 test
questions that incorporate those sources. For each question, you will create 4 multiple choice response
options. When you are finished writing the question and answer choices, you will trade your questions
with your face partners and see if you can answer them. Once you’ve answered the questions, get your
face partners to check your work and explain any questions you missed.

“I wouldn’t approach the issue of judging in the way
the president does. Judges can’t rely on what’s in
their heart. They don’t determine the law. Congress
makes the law. The job of a judge is to apply the
law.” - Justice Sonia Sotomayor
