✅✅✅✅✅ Taylor W. says, "I used this as a formative assessment, and it worked very well. It allowed me to gauge how well the students understood the lesson I taught on the Federalist and Anti-Federalist, as well as gave the students an opportunity to apply what they learned.
✅✅✅✅✅ Brisa C. says, "I split my class into two large groups and had a "throw down showdown" between the two teams. They loved it! This is a great way to review these two groups.
✅✅✅✅✅ Kathleen C. says, "My 6,7 class is a fun bunch, and so anything that involves them slapping things down makes them beyond excited. My students loved facing off against one another in class to see who knew more about Federalist and Anti-Federalist ideas. It was also a great way for me to check and see if students were grasping the big ideas of what each group believed."
