Mini-Lesson: The Federalist Papers and Ratification Poster

This resource is an excellent means of discussing and assessing students' understanding of the arguments for and against ratification of the Constitution.

First, a PowerPoint leads students through an introduction to The Federalist Papers, emphasizing what are widely-considered to be the three most prominent articles: Federalist 10, 51, and 78. The presentation also includes an overview of The Antifederalist Papers.  The PowerPoint uses a Calibri font (which can be adjusted as needed), and is saved using an Office 97-2003 format. Each slide includes custom animation.

Students can then use the arguments in The Federalist Papers and Antifederalist Papers to create a poster that either supports or opposes ratification of the Constitution. Ideally, the poster uses a sheet of 11 x 17 paper. A suggested design for how the students should format their poster is included in the presentation.

I have also uploaded a project rubric to assist in assessing completed posters.

I do offer The Federalist Papers and Ratification Poster separately on Amped Up Learning, but am bundling them together here at a discount.
