Welcome to the Constitutional Convention! We are so pleased to have you! Before we move and sit with our fellow state delegates, we have a few things that we need to do.
OPENING ACTIVITY - With your TEAM, discuss the WEAKNESSES of the Articles of Confederation and WHY each was a problem. Be ready to shareeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
After we finish Opening Activity, you will have 10 MINUTES to finish your name tent for your delegate. Click HERE to go to Tree of Ed to get information on your delegate. Then it is time to get into place, and officially begin the convention. How do all fancy conventions start? With a meet and greet of course! Go back to Tree of Ed, MODULE 2, for instructions. I'll let you know where to begin.
Today will be fun, we'll get to debate and get a sense of what the convention was like, as these were big decisions that had to be made and still impact our lives today! We probably won't finish the convention today, so be ready to pick up where we leave off today on Friday!
**REMINDER TO MY STUDENTS WHO WANT TO BE ELIGIBLE TO ENTER THE COUNTY HISTORY FAIR - YOUR COMPLETED PROJECT IS DUE NEXT FRIDAY, JANUARY 23rd! IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS A YOU ARE WORKING ON YOUR PROJECT, EMAIL ME AT ANY TIME AND I WILL GET BACK TO YOU ASAP!**
