APUSH --> Today we started discussing the Articles of Confederation, America's first government. We started by discussing the principles established in individual state constitutions during the Revolutionary period. Tomorrow we will finalize our work on the Articles and hopefully be able to understand how they led and created the groundwork for the US Constitution.
SS 8 --> We started class by watching a 9-minute clip on the Causes of the Civil War as presented in Ken Burns' Civil War. This clip matched with recent text reading. Students then took a short quiz on their recent text reading and the clip. We then started a discussion on the 1850's, the decade when America started to "rip apart." Tomorrow we will continue that discussion by looking at historical documents, maps and quotes. Hopefully we will be able to end with the Election of 1860 and understand how this election led to Southern states seceding from the Union.
