Thurs Nov 14 Why? Constitution?

Good Morning,

I'm still going through your emails you sent, expect a reply today or tomorrow.

We need to understand why the Constitution was written and ratified.

Please go here:

CONTINUE memorizing the preamble. You will have a test on the preamble next week. (see the last post for more info on this).

Would you like to start a project for the Constitution? Maybe make a movie or something else?
email me and let me know.

Good Morning,

We are moving towards our Constitution.

I'm excited to come back to class and have some plans that will hopefully make your class SUPER fun.
