This week we will start my favorite part of our curriculum- the U.S. Constitution. Knowledge of our government and how it operates is an integral part of being an American. Our Founding Fathers believed from the beginning, that citizens would need to be educated properly in government and history in order to participate in our federal system. Indeed, it was their knowledge of world history and political philosophy that led them to design a new style of government.
Before we can begin our study of the Constitution we will need to discover why they designed this particular type of government ... and how!
Today you will create a state constitution. I will give you a hand-out with steps to follow. You will log on to Google Docs and work with up to 2 people (besides yourself) in this class period. Make sure you share your work with me.
