Philadelphia Constitutional Convention Skit Play Student Engagement GUARANTEED
This play/skit is perfect for any middle school or high school student learning about the framing of the US constitution. (Several main characters have multiple lines, while other characters have just one line or two so this can accommodate all sorts of different personalities in your classroom) How the delegates there squabbled with each other almost every day for 4-5 months. Not unlike our present day government leaders. It was (to coin a phrase in today's vernacular) a BIG HOT MESS EXPRESS.

Hobbes, Locke and how Social Contract Saved the Day!
This original Readers' Theater script assumes you have already pre-taught the basic ideas of Locke an Hobbes, and how their ideas influenced Thomas Jefferson. This drives home the notion of why we have government at all, and why Democracy was our choice for our new government. I did this with grades 5 - 8, and they all loved it! I would think high school students would also enjoy this activity. I used the iCivics website (from Sandra Day O'Connor) to help with my preceding lessons, and then
