Purposeful and Transparent
Knowing how local, state and national governments work together is part of student's cultural literacy.
Contextual
All Americans should have some knowledge of what a federal government is. Learning about the Federalist Papers will not only help them get more questions correct on the GED, it will for a short time make them feel they know something the majority of us don't.
Building Expertise
During the lesson the students are aware of the importance of understanding vocabulary. Reading and discussing in groups aids comprehension. The teacher provides graphic organizers to help students support their learning of difficult reading passages.
