"Ideas Live On" Day 2

Write this down at the top of a blank sheet of notebook paper or the back in your notes section:

Midterm topic: 
What makes an effective government?
Text #2: "Ideas Live On", speech, Benazir Bhutto (former prime minister of Pakistan)
*What does Bhutto think the government needs to stop doing to be successful?
*What does Bhutto think the relationship between citizen and government should be?
*What does Bhutto see as the main problems of Pakistan? How can they be fixed?

Make sure you have sentences in the speech highlighted that answer these questions (you can choose from them when you write the midterm essay next week)

*Annotations count for part of the grade: attach the article to your answers
