Wednesday, we will be doing the Western Hemisphere Activity in class, where we will attempt to form a union of all of the countries in the Western Hemisphere, which will help us understand what it was like for Congress as they tried to unite all of the states. Remember, the focus of this activity is Localism vs. Nationalism. Do your loyalties lie with the place you come from, or with the idea of unity of all states? For homework, students will work on one Current Event of their choice for Friday, and will also read pgs.140-144 and write 5 observations, 3 questions, and 1 opinion.
Thursday we will be talking about the Constitutional Convention, when Congress decided it was time to "try again" at creating a national government. But the big question is, did it work??? For homework, students will read the following handout and answer the questions attached to the pictures. Reading available here. Also, students have Current Events due tomorrow!
Friday you will each be assigned a key talking point of the Convention, and your job will be to research the issue, come up with a solution, and research the solution that Congress came upon. On Monday, you will confer with your classmates who had the same issue, and then on Tuesday, students will be getting into groups of three and teaching each other about the issues they focused on. For homework, students will complete this Coded Homework on the Constitutional Convention.
