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:
http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/article/us-constitution-overview

and make Cornell notes in your IN.

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.

Nov. 12 US Constitution

Good Morning,

We are moving towards our Constitution.
After our country was created we needed a set of rules written down to help our country grow and not go crazy.
