Sorry, that I did not get a chance to write what we did on Friday. On Friday, we looked at the chart on the bottom of page 291, and students were making a comparison chart by making drawings that compared 3 of the points that were made.

Today, we finished that up and we started the political campaign poster project. These are the directions that I gave them.

You are going to create a poster to persuade others to join your party, either the Republicans or Federalists. You will need to state why we should join your party in about 2 paragraphs. You will also need to come up with a slogan that will draw people in so that they will want to read your poster. In your paragraph you will need to have the advantages that I will get or can have by joining your party – Republicans or Federalist. You should also have at least 3 pictures representing the best ideas of your party. You can work with one other person on this assignment and it will be worth 20 points.
