The Articles of Confederation Simulation - September 12-15, 2008

Agenda:
1. Articles of Confederation Game (pg 19)
2. Features of the Articles of Confederation (pg 20-21)
HW: Finish the Articles acrostic (pg 18)

Today we played the Articles of Confederation Game. You have to play it to truly experience it! If you've already played the game, don't spoil it for everyone else! It's a great way to help students get a feel for the frustration and anger that the Americans felt in the 1780s while they were struggling to form their new nation.

Hey, Period 2, that was quite a simulation, eh? We get so wrapped up that we didn't get to finish "Features of the Articles," so you can download the packet HERE.
