Chapter 3 is focused on having the students develop reasons that our founders created the kind of government that they did.
Students will be assigned to a group which will take notes/explain several historical events, ideas, and historical documents that shaped the creation of our government. Afterwards, the three large groups are divided into small (three person) groups to share what they have read.
Emphasis should be placed on how these important concepts INFLUENCED our system of government. Students should take note that this theme is one of our required District Assessments. (essay)
