If you read my previous blog post, The Most Foundational Document: The U.S. Constitution, you'll have noticed a classroom activity for the Constitution unit. If you were interested in finding out more on this activity, you're in luck

 

In this video I will briefly discuss a great simulation that ends up being the culminating activity for the Constitution unit called The Federalists v. Anti-Federalists: A Town Hall Meeting. I will discuss how you can assign your class this simulation that incorporates all aspects of the Constitution, stressing its importance in our study of AP® Government.

I hope you enjoy the video and the lesson.
