We the People Lessons 1 & 2

We have now gotten into the first of our Government curriculum by looking at Lessons 1 & 2 from the We the People text. 

We started with the goals and key terms for Lesson 1: What did the Founders think about constitutional government? Students took notes on the information in the Google Slides. 

Then we looked at the goals and terms for Lesson 2: What ideas about civic life informed the founding generation? For this students were introduced to the chapter through some notes, but then were tasked at reading a section of the chapter on their own and using this handout to do so.

Lesson resources:
Google Slides - Lessons 1 & 2
WTP Lesson 2 Handout

HW: Current Event related to Classical Republicanism or Natural Rights Philosophy - be prepared to discuss in class.

Due: 9/14 (A-day) and 9/15 (B-day)
