Thursday Oct 24 Moving towards the Constitution

Good Morning,

We are moving towards the birth of the US Constitution.

Simply speaking our Constitution is like a rulebook. Just like sports have rulebooks. For example when you play soccer there are rules as to how many players can be on the field, what qualifies as a foul. Rulebooks talk about how the game is won, who can play the game and lots more.
Our U.S. Constitution is the rulebook for our government.

Today:
Ms. Felding will have printed out this information:
http://info.teachtci.com/resources/ha/TheEnlightenment.pdf

Each topic on in that resource helps us understand how we shaped our Constitution.

Split the topics between groups. Each group of 2-3 students will read the introduction and a topic, make Cornell Notes, then create a poster to share with the class. Each group will clearly present the poster to the class.


The topics:
The Roots of the Enlightenment
Thomas Hobbes
John Locke: Natural Rights
Baron de Montesquieu: Separation of powers
Voltaire
Cesare de Beccaria
The Impact of the Enlightenment on Government
Women of the Enlightenment

After presentations place your poster on the inspiration wall. Each group will make Cornell Notes off each poster.

Good Morning,

Political cartoons are cartoons used to exaggerate a political opinion and possibly the truth. Generally political cartoons use caricatures and labels to help the reader understand the cartoon. You must take time looking and analyzing all the details of the cartoon to understand its meaning.

Tuesday Oct 8 Stamp Act Primary Source day 3 -Loyalist

Good Morning,

First read and discuss this with Ms. Felding (taken directly from the wikipedia article):

Loyalists were American colonists who remained loyal to the Kingdom of Great Britain (and the British monarchy) during the American Revolutionary War. At the time they were often called Tories, Royalists, or King's Men. They were opposed by the Patriots, those who supported the revolution. When their cause was defeated, about 20% of the Loyalists fled to other parts of the British Empire, in Britain or elsewhere in British North America. The southern colonists moved mostly to Florida, which had remained loyal to the Crown, and to British Caribbean possessions, while northern colonists largely migrated to Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, where they were called United Empire Loyalists. Most were compensated with Canadian land or British cash distributed through formal claims procedures. CREDIT



Next:
Now you are going to read the Loyalist response on page 7. You will need to read it with a partner 3 times.
Be sure to use a dictionary to look up words like:

1. odious
2. alienating
3. affections
4. and others

Print out this Primary Source analysis sheet:
http://www.archives.gov/education/lessons/worksheets/written_document_analysis_worksheet.pdf

Working with a partner read through the loyalist's response from page 7 at this address:
Open this Primary Source:
http://nationalhumanitiescenter.org/pds/makingrev/crisis/text3/stampactresponse1765.pdf


HOMEWORK:
 Finish the Primary Source analysis sheet.

Monday Oct 7 Stamp Act Primary Source Day 2

Good Morning,

Using the same primary source as Friday you will pick a different colonist response to read, analyze and fill out the primary source analysis sheet below.

Print out this Primary Source analysis sheet:
http://www.archives.gov/education/lessons/worksheets/written_document_analysis_worksheet.pdf

Working with a partner read through a colonist's response from pages 2-6 at this address:
Open this Primary Source:
http://nationalhumanitiescenter.org/pds/makingrev/crisis/text3/stampactresponse1765.pdf

While reading 1 of the colonist's response each person needs to fill out the sheet you printed.

HOMEWORK:
 Finish the Primary Source analysis sheet.

Friday Oct 4 Stamp Act Primary Source

Good Morning,

Stamp Act.

First read this:

Definition: First direct British tax on American colonists. Instituted in November, 1765. Every newspaper, pamphlet, and other public and legal document had to have a Stamp, or British seal, on it. The Stamp, of course, cost money. The colonists didn't think they should have to pay for something they had been doing for free for many years, and they responded in force, with demonstrations and even with a diplomatic body called the Stamp Act Congress, which delivered its answer to the Crown. Seeing the hostile reaction in the colonies, the British government repealed the Stamp Act in March 1766 but at the same time passed the Declaratory Act, which said that Great Britain was superior (and boss of) the American colonies "in all cases whatsoever." The Stamp Act gave the colonists a target for their rage. Indeed, the Sons of Liberty was formed in response to this Act. The Stamp Act Congress also gave the colonists a model for the Continental Congress. CREDIT

NEXT:
Discuss the information above as a class with Ms. Felding

NEXT:
Print out this Primary Source analysis sheet:
