Students in Ms. Johnson's Social Studies class have been learning about the Articles of Confederation and the steps that lead the US to write the constitution. Students assumed a role as a member of society- a Northern manufacturer, a southern plantation owner of slaves, a free African American, an elite member of society, an educated young white woman, and a Native American Chief. Students researched these members of society to see how their opinions differed with forming our Constitution. Once they completed their research, they analyzed their member and completed a Paul's Reasoning organizer. Students were then able to participate in our own mini Constitutional Convention (Philosophical Chairs) and speak the viewpoints of their member of society. This activity was a little difficult, as students had to infer the viewpoints of the members.
