The Fight for Ratification of the Constitution
Federalists vs Anti-Federalists
TASK
After having read your assigned documents, you and your partners will develop a brief skit in which you portray the historical figures who wrote the documents engaged in a lively debate over ratification of the Constitution.
SKIT REQUIREMENTS
The skit will be in modern English, but incorporate key phrases from the original documents verbatim.
Type the skit. Email a copy to Mr. Bobak.
Label the speaking roles (like a script).
Using parentheses, incorporate any cues. For example: (slam fist on table)
Note: Your performance of the skit will be video taped.
CHART
You must also prepare a comparative chart on the fundamental ideas of the debate found in the documents. This chart is an effective way to begin the development of your script. The comparative chart will be shared with your classmates. Email the chart to Mr. Bobak by 8am of the day when the skit is due.
ASSESSMENT
Your work will be evaluated based on the quality of information (accuracy & completeness), the clarity of the presentation, and the professionalism with which you present it.
