This lesson will have students explore & debate the five major compromises that were made at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787. The delegates were charged with the task of amending the Articles of Confederation. However, they quickly decided to replace the Articles and write a new constitution. Because the delegates came from all parts of the country, they differed on a number of key issues. In order to keep the convention going and ensure ratification of the Constitution, the delegates had to compromise a number of times. As a result, the final document is sometimes described as a "bundle" of compromises.

Materials Include:

• Student Guided Notes T-Chart
• 23 Slide Presentation
• Teacher Answer Key

Supporting Questions:

• What was the purpose of the Constitutional Convention?
• What are the five compromises of the Constitution?
• How did the Constitutional Convention address the issue of slavery?

Affirmative Action had been a contentious issue in the United States since the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960's. The Supreme Court’s 2023 decision to reject race-conscious admissions at colleges and universities around the nation upended decades of law and the higher education landscape. This lesson will invite students to draw connections between the past and today, as they take a focused look at affirmative action as it applies to admission programs at universities. Students will be provided with an introductory framework from which to understand the historical roots of affirmative action and its' controversial application today through the analysis of primary sources, research, and student-led discussion forum activity.

Time Frame: 2-3 class periods (Based on 60 min class period)

This PowerPoint Review Game on World International Organizations can be used in geography, civics, and government. It incorporates both Non-governmental (NGOs) and Intergovernmental (IGOs) — because they play a significant role in shaping global connections. These organizations, such as the United Nations, World Trade Organization, and World Health Organization, work to maintain peace, promote human rights, ensure economic stability, and address pressing issues like climate change and poverty on a global scale. By learning about these organizations, students gain a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of our world and the importance of collaboration among nations.

Students will be given scenarios (1 per slide) and, working with their teams, will decide which organization would be the best fit.

This PowerPoint focuses on the following International Organizations:

• NGOs vs IGOs
• Red Cross
• World Trade Organization (WTO)
• North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)
• Mercy Ships
• World Wildlife Fund (WWF)
• Human Rights Watch Organization (HRW)
