Writing on the Wall

Overview

The Spring 2011 Government class took some time to explore the Constitutional Convention in a 21st Century way. Utilizing MyFakeWall.com students created Face book style pages of particular members of the Constitutional Convention. This was a simple activity to gather information, incorporate technology, and do some simplistic writing.

Operation

Students researched individuals who attended the Constitutional Convention. They gathered information about their age, education, family, and additional information and then constructed a profile of the individuals. Students were encouraged to be creative with their comments and posts, and kept a good balance between humorous and serious.

Outcome

Here are links to some of the walls that were created during our study of the Constitutional Convention.

William Livingston

Richard Bassett

Luther Martin

Gouverner Morris
