Then make sure that your first government is completely filled out. If you did not label the countries on your paper you need to do so now. We will rotate the papers pretty quickly after the bell rings to ensure that your second government is finished. Once roll is taken you should be beginning on your third government. This must be completed today, I know you will work hard as you always do. Thank you for being awesome students.
