Observation Four

In this lesson, I observed the teacher discuss the powers of the legislative branch in a special education class. Below is the quiz I made centered around her objective for the day. Since I have yet to take my special education classes, I am not sure if this is too difficult. I tried to make it as fair as I could.

Objective: TSWBAT identify and explain the powers vested to the legislative branch.
