| Team Phoenix @ Kitty Hawk! |
Over the next two plus weeks we will be studying the development of the United States Government, Articles of Confederation and the Constitution of the United States of America. As we have learned the colonies separated from Great Britain in 1776 (some argue earlier) and recognized by Great Britain in 1783 with the Treaty of Paris at the conclusion of the American Revolutionary War. We also plan to have a debate unit on various constitutional issues from free speech, gun control, religious freedom, rights of the accused and the proper role of government. This debate unit will be againist the other academic team on the eighth grade. Students will be evaluating research material, writing arguments, listening and formulating counter arguments and enhancing their speaking skills.
