You'd be surprised how many different things we can do over the course of the week in history. Yesterday, we were partnered with someone who shared the same document as us, the Anti-federalists verses the Federalists, and from there we found their arguments for their cause. Even though I personally don't agree that our Constitution was a bad idea (where would we be without it? Anarchist nomads? The horror) it was still interesting to see all the cases the opposing side could find about it. That guy Brutus - the same name as the guy who killed Julius Caesar, coincidence? - really knows how to argue. And make really long quotes.
Once I had enlightened Maddie on my so-called anti-federalist views, we got to work making our own magazine cover, for a magazine with an elaborate name that I probably can't pronounce. Our lastest headline: Bill of Rights, Yay or Nay? Catchy, no?
Today, we all tromped over to lab for some computer time, where we ended up with another assignment - and EdCafe on protesting, at least for me. And three other people.
The rest of the time, the majority of us were sucked into some addicting game that claimed to be educationally stimulating us on rights. Rights. Yeah. That's what it was about. Mhm. Not making little Antoine run around trying to stop people from storming angrily into the elevator.
Now if I could just remember which right goes with which amendment, everything would be just peachy.
