Federalists Papers Made Easy!

I love teaching using primary sources like the Federalists Papers.  I tell my students that reading the Federalists Papers allows us to understand the true thinking behind the Constitution.  Students, when they understand the Federalists Papers, walk away with a superior understanding and appreation of our government.

But the key is when they understand the Federalists Papers.  Let's be honest, reading and comprehending these important documents take time and can be difficult.

But, I have a solution!

I have created a close reading guide and text dependent questions for Federalist No. 10.  The document is on the left side of the paper, while the questions are next specific area where students can find the answers are on the right side.  Also, I have highlighted words from the text and provided definitions to key words that students might not understand.  Finally, I created follow-up questions to review key points of Federalist No. 10.

All this breaks down the challenges of understand Federalist No. 10 for students..
