Do these two things:
 * As the Bell Rings...** media type="custom" key="10601058"
 * 1) Over the weekend you were to have completed your "Definition of Freedom" handout -- collect those at your tables by handing them to the #3's
 * 2) Friday's bell work was to identify the issues surrounding the outbreak and course of the American revolution and write them on a Pages or sticky note. Open that.

In this lesson you will examine the challenges facing the Founders and note how the first attempt at a national government under the Articles of Confederation was largely a reaction to the perceived tyranny of the British King and Parliament. You will also learn about the strengths and weaknesses of the fledgling government, its successes and failures.
 * What We Did In Class**

In class we completed the [|Initial Challenge of Independence.pages] document to guide us through the lesson. You'll need the [|Northwest Ordinance] for this lesson.

Read about the Constitutional Convention.
 * Homework**
