In class we learned about the amendment. Then we had to say what amendments were broken in a hypothetical case. Also we learned about the two parties that were first created and what their views and stand points were. Then we discussed it with the class and made a chart of it.

Last we did an activity on if there should be one president or more. We worked in groups and read an article on the different plans that were created on this point. There was the Virgina plan that said there should be one, the New Jersey plan that said there should be more than one, and the Hamilton plan that said there should be one. Also there was a paper at the end of class, and I don't know what its for. Then today we worked on which branches the bill goes through to become a law, and how the checks and balance system works.

Last class I took the preamble quiz. Also I learned about the issues discussed at the constitutional convention and what the outcome was. Then in class to we as a class talked about what our homework actually is and made me less confused on what I have to do. No I don't hate social studies as much as I did.

In class we discussed the preamble and the 1787 Philadelphia convention. For the preamble we had to go around the room and put the phrases into our own words, then say how it worked and didn't work today. Then for the convention we talked about it a little last class and then more today. Today we read documents about four people and their stand point on a proportional or equal representation. Then after we read the document we had to create our own fake tweet and discuss the problem as if we were tweeting with in our own groups.

3 Artifact Essay

 Three artifacts that I would pick are soccer ball, fishing rod, and a bike.

A soccer ball would show the sport that I like playing it shows my athleticism. I am good at soccer and enjoy playing it at a forward position. Also it shows my athleticism because you need to be in good shape to play the sport. Also i am very active in my regular life as well.

A fishing rod would show how I like to relax. I like to go out fishing with my friends in the summer to hang out. Its a good time just sitting on the shore or in a boat just talking and being with your friends. Also the feeling you get when you have a fish on the hook. Its an exhilarating feeling to reel in a fish and be able to say you caught one.

A bike would show how I am adventurous. I like to go out during the summer and explore the woods around my house. I also do this with my friends as well as I race through the trails and have a fun time. As well as going through trials I am mostly on a bike because it is my way of transportation around my town, and to other destinations I want to go.
