What educators are saying
This is a nearly ready to use product that only required a little modification for my use. Mostly in setting it up for the class to ensure they had context to be successful. The product is high quality and easy to integrate into your lessons.
This is the best way I have taught the Articles of Confederation in 4 years of teaching US history! It gets to not only what ARE the Articles of Confederation, and not only what are the PROBLEMS with it, but I FINALLY was able to convey why the problems caused by the Articles were so dire!
Description
--Student-led -- Primary source stations -- Common Core-based -- Ready to print and use --
Who wants to spend more than one lesson teaching the Articles of Confederation? This one-day lesson can be used to give a concise explanation of the Articles of Confederation. Through the use of primary sources, students will come to understand what the Articles were, and some of the reasons why they were replaced with the Constitution.
The lesson contains primary source materials edited for students grade 8 and above, an introductory and review lecture, and corresponding student notes. The primary source readings are concise enough to be approachable for all learners, and chosen to illustrate particular problems with the Articles.
