Welcome to Mr. Turk's 11th grade Civics blog page. I set this site up for our class so that we can communicate with each other. I may post homework assignments or ask questions for you to comment on right here, online. Parents can also log on to check what we are discussing in class and join in. Hopefully, this will enable us to dwell deeper into our studies and become closer as classmates.
