Next, we move on to the Wild West, violent exchanges with the Native Americans; students will be using resources outside of their textbook to realize the extremes settlers went through as well as the devastation the Native Americans experienced.

American Government

Students in American Government are realizing the failures of the Articles of Confederation and are now learning the basics of the U.S. Constitution. This week we will be singing, yes, singing the Constitution Rap as well as using a primary document analysis sheet to discover the framework of this document. We will also be completing outside readings to build our background knowledge regarding the principles of the Constitution. Once all students have the necessary knowledge base, we will be discovering and completing activities covering the Bill of Rights.
