You Be the Judge - analyzing Supreme Court cases on the Bill of Rights
It’s one thing to simply memorize the Bill of Rights; it’s quite another to actually understand how they apply in everyday life. Teaching the former gives students words but no understanding for what they mean; teaching the latter gives students practice in critical thinking as well as a deep appreciation for their basic rights as American citizens. It is, in effect, the ultimate lesson in civics.
This activity is designed to teach students the meaning and application of the Bill of Rights by h

Plessy v. Ferguson/ Brown v. Board of Education primary source analysis activity
“Great!”
In the 1896 case of Plessy v. Ferguson the Supreme Court ruled that segregation of races in public life was perfectly legal under the doctrine of “separate but equal.” This ruling legitimized Jim Crow laws and second-class citizenship for generations of African-Americans. Finally, in 1954, the Supreme Court reversed itself in the case of Brown v. Board of Education and banned the “separate but equal” doctrine, finally paving the way for true equal rights for African-Americans, nearly 1

Federalist Papers primary source analysis activity
Writing the U.S. Constitution was the easy part; the hard part was convincing the states to subordinate their freshly won sovereignty from England to the new national government to be created under the Constitution. The battle over ratification of the Constitution by the states was fought not only in the State Ratification Conventions but also in the country’s newspapers by a furious letter writing campaign waged by leading opponents and supporters. These letters – which have come to be known as

Louisiana Purchase primary source analysis activity
“Great primary source activity!”The Louisiana Purchase was one of the most defining moments in our nation’s development as a global power. For a relative pittance, the country doubled in size overnight. Yet this landmark purchase wasn’t even a consideration for Jefferson as he dispatched Robert Livingston to Paris to negotiate with Emperor Napoleon to purchase only New Orleans and negotiate use of the Mississippi River for American farmers. Napoleon’s offer to sell the entire territory took Livi

We Take Nothing by Conquest - a US History textbook, Columbus to Reconstruction
"Fantastic!"When I started teaching 8th grade US history 10 years ago, I searched high and low for a good textbook. Needless to say, that search was fruitless. The textbooks that I found were either incomprehensibly written or dumbed down to the point of being intellectually insulting to a 13 year old. Moreover, none told the story of our history that my students really wanted to hear: the history of African-Americans, of Native Americans, and what life was really like for our ancestors. Followi

Dred Scott v. Sandford primary source analysis activity
In 1858, as the fight over the future of slavery in the United States was reaching fever pitch, the Supreme Court was asked to rule on the case of Dred Scott v. Sandford. Scott, a slave from Missouri, had lived with a previous owner both in the free state of Illinois and the free Wisconsin territory. Scott later sued for his freedom in the Missouri Courts under the Missouri common law doctrine of “once free, always free.” After a tortuous appeals process, the case finally made its way to the US
