Today we watched the end of the film, Liberty and discussed the ratification debate, identifying details about the Federalists and Anti-Federalists that we learned from the Foner textbook as well as the film. We finished class by working on some interpretations of what we learned using this format:
When Foner/the Film is arguing ___________ about the Federalists or Anti Federalists, does that mean__________? If so, then I wonder _____________(what's the implication).
There has also been a change to the homework that is reflected in the assignment sheet. For HW, students received a printed copy of the Constitution and are directed to read Article I for tomorrow. As they read they need to define each of the seven phrases of the Preamble and then make an annotation for each Clause found in Article I that defines or identifies the meaning of that clause. If you missed class, you can print out the Constitution from home at this LINK.
