Constitutional Convention comes to Aloha!

Creative teaching was stage when the American Studies classes of Stephen Lucero and Brian Reichelt participated in a Constitutional Convention. Students were divided into groups, representing the original 13 states. Each student group researched the viewpoint that represented their state and then participated in a series of debates and negotiations that ultimately led to the adoption of the Constitution.

The fun and creative activity helped students understand the issues of the time and how challenging the democratic process can be. It was also evident the class practiced literacy skills, as reading and writing occurred regularly in convention.

Thanks to Stephen and Brian for excellent work but not so sure how Brian looks in a wig!?
