U.S. History

 
U.S. History will begin the Constitution on Monday by reading pages 144-149 
and completing questions 6&7 on page 149. Tuesday we will watch a short 
excerpt on the Signing of the Declaration and discuss the process. Students 
will then draft their own declaration putting it into their own words. 
Wednesday the students will Discuss the Constitution for Constitution Day. We 
will read pages 149-155 and using the chart on 155, draw the American System 
of government and its checks and balances. They will use construction paper 
and show the entire process. Friday the class will continue the video 1776 
and watch the continental congress in session as they adopt the Declaration 
of Independence.
