| Activities: Jean Fritz Writing Activity Students get a chance to practice writing expository paragraphs while also practicing research skills AND learning about something new. Click Here for the instructions and teacher/peer reviewer rubric. Activities: New Jersey vs. Virginia Plan Students will be given the following resources to learn more about the New Jersey and Virginia Plans. Afterwards, as a group, they will be asked to identify at least 1 strength and 1 weakness for each. Then, they will be asked to choose a side and prepare to defend it by taking more notes on the arguments that side used. Or, if they would like, instead of choosing a side, they can propose their own plan which might include elements of both. Students will present their argument in class, and will turn in their notes to the teacher afterwards to prove participation. See "assessment" for oral presentation rubric.
