9/18 - 9/19 Class Update

Yesterday, we learned how a bill becomes a law and about the checks and balances in the 3 branches of government. We also created a infograph about the government's branches (which is shown in my previous post)!

Today, we did some background information of the Question of Ratification of the Constitution. We were divided into groups to learn about the Federalists and Anti-Federalists. After we finished that half of the worksheet, we were split into different groups to learn about the other side. We also created a magazine cover for either the Federalists (which is what my groups did) or the Anti-Federalists. My magazine cover was called The Federalist News and had a picture of the Constitution in the middle with their biggest arguments for ratification of the Constitution.
