Wednesday: Today we are settinng up our starters and snow days or not, WE WILL FINISH TALKING ABOUT THE ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION........soon.
(Watch to 4:24)
We will be discussing the different features of the "A of C", including why each feature was included and attempting to predict any possible problems the new government might have. For homework, everyone will be doing a current events worksheet, available here. We will complete these worksheets every two weeks, with each article worth 10 points. This week's focus is "Brian Williams," an NBC news anchor at the center of a big controversy. Due FRIDAY!
Thursday: Today we will be filling out a chart on the numerous problems with the Articles of Confederation, available here. We will anaylze the various causes behind these issues and do a fun activity where we'll see just how fragile our new nation was, and how poorly it was being held together by the Articles' government. Don't forget your Current Events for tomorrow!
Friday: Today we will begin with the CNN Student News, then discuss this week's current events assignment on the controversy surrounding Brian Williams. We will then work on completing our Articles of Confederation chart from yesterday. For homework, students will complete a Post-Revolutionary crossword puzzle (worth 10 points, or two homework assignments). I will attempt to update later with an electronic version of the puzzle. Stay Warm!!!!
