In this Self-Paced course, there is no live instruction. The learner will understand the factors that shaped the creation of the US government after the American Revolution, including the Articles of Confederation and the Great Compromise.  Instruction may be supplemented with additional videos clips, handouts, reading material, and/or games. Students will also receive access to the slides used in class.

The class will include multiple interactive activities (in the Outschool classroom), including but not limited to a 2-week Constitutional Congress Simulation, a Battle of the Plans "Would You Rather?"Articles of Confederation (AOC) Vote of Confidence, sorts on Jamboard, matching AOC cause/effect, and EdPuzzle; all of which will prompt students to share their knowledge for a better understanding of the topic.
