Tomorrow, we will begin our next unit over the Origins of American Government. This may be one of my favorite units to teach, as it is packed with history and drama, while also showing how we developed from a small, colonial nation into the world superpower that we have become today. We will do significant amounts of reading, research, and annotating primary sources (specifically the Magna Carta, the Declaration of Independence, and the Articles of Confederation), culminating in the creation of your first formal DBQ Essay over the Declaration of Independence. This will be one of our longest and most detailed units of the year, but (as it is for me) I hope that it is also one of your most enjoyable units of study for the year.
