This week in social studies we will continue with our unit: The Constitution in a New Nation. The main focus of the week will continue to be the failure of the Articles of Confederation (the first written plan of government in the United States). By the end of the week students will learn about the Constitutional Convention and the many compromises that took place in order to ratify the U.S. Constitution. After the break, we will be analyzing the actual Constitution by examining the various amendments as well as the responsibilities and duties of the three branches of government.
