Field Trip to City Hall

So, I was thinking about how to make my unit more interesting and to connect local government to the governments we will be learning about in Ancient Greece and around the world.

I emailed City Hall and it's really easy to set up a tour.  My students will get to see the council chamber and have a chance to meet the mayor and some of the other people who make PG tick.  I think I might pair it with a trip to the court house because they are close together and learning about how the courts are related to government is an important part of the Canadian political system.  Also, the court house has a dome and we can calculate the circumference of it ;)
