Federalist/Anti-Federalist Debate & Final DBQ Work

10/29/2015

0 Comments

 
Class time was spent today on a class debate of Federalists vs. Anti-Federalists/Democratic-Republicans.  All three classes did a great job and hopefully the activity helped everyone understand the different ideas of the time a bit better.

Afterwards, students had time to get any final feedback they needed on their DBQ.  Be ready to write tomorrow!
