Philadelphia Constitutional Convention Skit Play Student Engagement GUARANTEED
This play/skit is perfect for any middle school or high school student learning about the framing of the US constitution.

Not unlike our present day government leaders. It was (to coin a phrase in today's vernacular) a BIG HOT MESS EXPRESS.
