Immersion/Coalesce Conferences w/ C & Dubbs...

Howdy Y'all,

      Happy Tuesday, and saddle up for a great day!  I am so so so so looking forward to sitting down with all of you to talk history.  I know history is not everybody's thang, but I assure you, there is something for everyone in history.  All it takes is aligning your interests and curiosity to what was taking place at that time.  Keep this in mind as our conversation together may urge you to think about what your GO PUBLIC INQUIRY will entail.  

      You will find some of the questions I will be asking below.  Some of the questions should look familiar.  Dubbs and I are not trying to trick anyone nor set anyone up for failure.  That being said, feel free to SHOW WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW.  Sometimes what you don't know is more important that what you do.

Why did the American Colonists want to free themselves from Great Britain?

What makes a good leader?

What happens when government goes wrong, and why had government gone wrong under the Articles of the Confederation?

What's the difference between the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution?

How did problems lead some Founding Fathers to create a Constitution?

Why could the Constitution be considered a "political innovation" of its time?

How did the Founding Fathers use "synthesis" and "inquiry" to create the Constitution?

Why do you think it's called the American "Revolution"?

How did the United States get to 1787?

WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE NOW THAT YOU HAVE STUDIED THIS MOMENT IN HISTORY?
