IB 20 HOTA

I showed you a video today on the "United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights". While you watched this video you need to take notes. You should definitely have notes on the following concepts: the Virginia Plan, the New Jersey Plan, the Connecticut Compromise, and the 3/5ths compromise, republic, and federalism, among others. I also walked you through how to write a Paper 1 today. Please make sure that you review the OPVL Analysis handout that I gave you earlier in the term. You need to know the difference between primary sources and secondary sources. Pay special attention to the organizational chart as how to deal with the origins, purpose, value and limitations of sources. Please make sure that you examine very carefully the Paper 1 section on the IB 20 wiki tonight. Also, you might want to look at some sample sources from your History of the Americas textbook on pages 71-73.

Since we've been talking a fair bit about the U.S. Constitution of late, I thought you might find this segment from Fareed Zakaria's GPS interesting:
