Thursday 11.8 Constitution and Scrum

Good Morning!

We started talking about the Constitution, now it's time to put some meat on the bones.

Our Constitution learning goals for today and tomorrow:
We need to understand the major debates during the development of the Constitution.
Includes--
Shared power among the branches of government
Divided state-federal power,
Slavery,
Rights of individuals and states
Status of American Indian nations under the commerce clause
-
The Federalist position
The Anti-Federalist position
The Bill of Rights


In your groups of 3 discuss how you are going to address each of the learning goals listed above. 
Requirements:
Provide evidence of exploring the information in the form of Cornell Notes or other methods (schoodling, etc.)
Choose a process of how you want to show your learning. A partial process list: List, construct, paint, teach, sketch, manipulate, interview, record, simulate, classify, categorize, separate, compare, dissect, contrast, advertise, survey, combine, invent, compose, hypothesize, predict, role-play, estimate, infer, create, produce, evaluate, judge, debate, discuss, editorialize, decide, recommend, choose. 
Now make something using the process you've chosen -What ever you build needs to include all of the learning goals above. It may be small to represent the learning goal. This could be a drawing, poster, animation, movie, journal, essay, clay model, presentation, play, puppet show and much more. SEE BELOW for our partial list of builds.
Everyone in the group agrees to work towards accomplishing the learning goals listed above.

Process + Build = Project


So how do we start?
In your groups of 3 decide which Learning Goals you will start with.
Using the scrum board in the back break down what you are going to make and the process you will use into small tasks. Tasks are the small items that you will work on to meet the learning goal.
For example: Learning Goal- "The Federalist Position"
Tasks- 1)research by reading through the textbook section  2)research using wikipedia, 3)make cornell notes on research in IN  4)decide what you are going to make (poster, animation, drawing, etc.) 5) Decide which process you are going to use to make something 6)Get materials you need for your build.

You will be assessed on the completion of your notes and your ability to explain how your build demonstrates the learning goal.
