Objective:
SWBAT research a contemporary issue and explain its relationship to federalism.
Warm-up:
Turn and talk to your table about the topic you have been assigned. Review the foundational information, then discuss the different roles for the project (history, federal law, state laws/response, court cases/constitutional issue, current events, and related interest groups. Decide how you will divide the roles and highlight your role on the assignment sheet in the space provided.
Classwork:
Use the Pathfinder to identify sources related to your role. Take notes on 3-4 sources discussing your topic. Note that most of the Pathfinder articles have links to additional sources embedded within them. All notes should be in your own words. It will be two weeks before we are in the media center again, so you may need to work on this outside of class to ensure you have enough information.
