Classroom Post 3

On Wednesday, we learned about the ratification of the constitution. We got copies of the arguments either for the ratification of the Constitution or against it. My group got for the ratification. We then copied down the leaders of the group, which were Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, the five biggest arguments for the ratification, and then a quote that summarizes they're argument best. After we finished, we paired up with someone who had the other argument and shared information. Then, with our new buddies, we got huge sheets of paper and made magazine covers either for the Federalists or Anti-Federalists. My group did Federalist, and we laid down on the floor to draw our cover with our Federalist box of crayons. Today, we went to the computer lab and played a cool game where you get to run a law firm for 8 days and protect people's constitutional rights. It was really fast-pace and super fun; I got 4800 on my first try! It's been a good two days.
