Republic Means: Represent Me
In this lesson, students investigate the principle of republicanism by asking how government representatives decide and act upon what constituents want. Students watch short videos, research their representatives, analyze and amend a bill, and at the end of the lesson draft a letter to their members in Congress.
Colonial Grievances and the Social Contract
In this lesson, students examine how the grievances in the Declaration of Independence demonstrate a broken social contract. Through a matching activity and analysis of draft documents from the Library of Congress, students identify patterns of unfairness and evolving argumentation. Using a Claim-Evidence-Reasoning framework, they practice identifying them as legal arguments and apply their understanding to modern contexts before completing a final written evaluation.
It Makes Sense! Common, That Is!
Students will trace the establishment of Republicanism in history using the primary sources including the Mayflower Compact, Common Sense, Declaration Of Independence, Articles Of Confederation, Constitution.
