Matt,
Hey Matt,
We didn’t get a chance to talk today, but I’m thinking I would like to do a lesson on the men who wrote the Constitution.

Dolores: To which time period are you referring? Political cartoons are excellent.
The Bill of Rights is great, Chris. [You might focus more on the 1st amendment since that's the most debated one today.]
Darlene, this is an great idea, but I’m afraid your sources might be limited. What did you have in mind? If you focused on the Middle Passage you could use Equiano and others. Just a thought.
To the anonymous writer at 3:23AM, what is your focus on the “men who wrote the Constitution”? You will need to narrow it down just a bit, otherwise it sounds good.

Professor Harris,
I am still very interested in doing real women of the Revolution. I also found a unique book about some of these women yesterday. My focus would be Debra Sampson, Sybil Ludington, Margaret Corbin, Mercy Otis Warren etc. Is that ok?

I plan to do Philadelphia during Coloniel times. This will include map identification, building construction and topography construction, along with a timeline.

Hello Matt,
I would like to do the economics of the Colonial Period.

Sorry Matt,
I meant economics and early United States.

More specificity will be needed here.

I’d like to do a Soldier’s life during the Revolutionary War, using Joseph Plumb Martin but also other first person accounts.

I’d like to tweak my topic a little… still do the soldier’s life, but also other accounts using the Valley Forge winter as a focus. I’d like to get the soldier’s perspectives, but also include things such as weather, how spying played into the winter, food acquisition, and what was going on in Philadelphia. I’m still playing with my idea, but would like to get the kids involved in as many perspectives as possible. This is why I decided it would be better to narrow this to the Valley Forge winter. Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.
