Creating an American Government

Students in the STAR Cluster are starting to look at establishing an American Government, first with the Articles of Confederation, and then moving into The U.S. Constitution and its principles. This is Chapter 7 in the American Journey textbooks that many of the students have at home. As we go through the unit they will be making many connections to their lives today as we talk about rights, liberties, and freedoms. We hope to activate their civic minds not only in regards to history, but as a means of connecting with the world around them today.
