Description of assessment
Formative: Students will be
divided into six groups, with 34 students per group. Each
group will be given a problem
under the Articles of
Confederation that they will
research using the Chrome
Books and provided websites
in a Popplet. They will answer
the provided guiding questions
and provide a piece of
supporting textual evidence
from the digital source where
they found their answer.
Seminar 2
1) It is important because it allows the government to provide services and pay for
things like debt.
2) Taxes allow for the government to provide services such as paving the roads,
building parks and other places in our communities, and providing benefits like
social security.
6) Congress had to ask the states for money and the states had to give money based
on the amount of people that owned land
3) Americans were afraid that the government would tax them unfairly, just as
they felt that England had under the King.
4) 13/13 votes were needed
5) It allowed the states to maintain power in the government because it only took
one vote for an amendment to not pass.
7) It made it difficult for people to trade between states and with other countries
8) It would be difficult because they would not want to accept our money. It would
be weird if everyone had different money because we are accustomed to having
the same type of money as everyone else. Its always easy to buy something
because our money is all the same.
9) Congress did not have the power to raise their own army, and did not have the
resources or people to stop rebellions
10) I would feel unsafe because our military protects us from conflicts and wars
with other countries
11) Our government today has three branches with separation of powers, and
checks and balances to make sure that no branch is more powerful than another.
Our government also has the power to tax, raise an army, and has established a
strong economic system

2. Setting Expectations: Everyone should have the
Popplet page pulled up on their Chrome Book. Each
group needs to search the online resources provided
for your assigned domestic problem. There are three
guiding questions on your graphic organizers. You
will respond to each question and provide a piece of
textual evidence that helped you answer the question.
You all will have 15 minutes to work in your groups. I
will set the timer, and remind you when you have 10,
7, and 3 minutes left to work. Go ahead and begin.
. Teacher will walk around the room assisting students
during their research to ensure that students are on
track and using their time on the Chrome Books wisely.
Teacher will redirect students that are off task and will
provide students with time checks in order to let
students know how much more time they have to
research. Teacher will be monitoring student use of the
graphic organizers to ensure that students are using
the organizer correctly.

Seminar 2
-Congress had to ask the states for funds to pay off debts
since they could not raise revenue themselves through
taxation
Textual evidence: it (Congress) could only request funds
that states might eventually get around to remitting
3) How dependable were the state governments as sources
of money during this time period?
-State governments were not very dependable, they did not
always pay money to Congress on time
Textual evidence: How that money was raised, within each
state, was up to the state legislatures. Unfortunately, this
money was oftentimes not raised by the states or given to
the national government long after it was due.
