//"It is common sense to ta////ke a method and try it; if it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something"// - Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1933) **Welcome to Ms. Olmo's Government Class!** Ms. Olmo  12th grade U.S. Government Teacher Hello and Welcome to Ms. Olmo's Government Classroom Wiki. I teach 12th grade United States Government classes in Pasco County, FL. I look forward to a great and prosperous year ahead. I have created this Classroom Wiki to allow students and parents to have access to classroom resources and assignments. Students will have access to internet research resources, video galleries, review games, grades, technologically interactive web assignments, and handouts. I hope that we have a prosperous and exciting year together!

This week we will be discussing the relationship between media and government. We will explore the different eras of political communication and the changes that have taken place. We will take a close look at social media and its new found role in U.S. politics. We will also learn about the roles the media, politicians, and the public play in shaping government policy.
 * This Week's Project **  ** Create a Social Media Political Wiki Group Presentation! **
