While the Articles of Confederation needed many amendments and adjustments before establishing the governances of this new nation, learning about this historical document establishes a strong foundation to understanding American government. An informational, quick 4-chapter read littered with Fast Facts. Critical thinking questions are posed at the end of the book for discussion and deep thinking about the material presented. Use the glossary filled with the indicated words from the text as a vocabulary or spelling lesson. An election year would make a great time to include these texts. Pgs. 32, sc. ~Rebecca
Publisher's Description of Articles of Confederation (Inside Guide: Documents of Democracy)
In the midst of the American Revolution, the Founding Fathers began
planning a new government. Wary of overreach, they created a weak
central government through the Articles of Confederation that proved
ineffective at keeping the new nation united. Today, states' rights are
still debated, and people have different opinions on how weak the
central government should be. Full-color photographs, sidebars, and
fascinating fact boxes highlight the reasons why the Articles of
Confederation failed. This helps readers think critically about the
current debate over weak versus strong central government, which is
highlighted in enlightening discussion questions.
Category Description for Inside Guide: Documents of Democracy
Introduce young readers to the documents that laid the bedrock for this nation. Some documents may surprise you, as you will learn about the Mayflower Compact and the Magna Carta. These brief readers introduce great vocabulary, timelines, classical artwork, and critical thinking discussion questions, and would make a great unit study (especially during an election year). There are factoids on people, places, and events throughout the pages that are easy to engage with and will stick in little minds. Nonfiction readers like these open students to further research and can lead students to interest-based learning during your school year. ~Rebecca
