constitution should give to the Federal Government.

Examples:

Your task… Break up into groups of two. Each group will be making a propaganda poster for either

the Federalist or the Anti-Federalists. You will have 20 minutes to create it.◦ The posters should include…

The name of the side you are supporting. A catchy slogan for your side. Who would be on the groups side (i.e. large land owners) What the group wanted. And an illustration. Remember to be creative, colorful, and Original!!!

All of the information you need can be found in your textbook on page 271
