Description: An article that tells what the constitutional convention was with links to items that were discussed at the convention.
Rationale: I thought this article would be very good to first introduce what the constitutional convention is because the resource is easy to understand and does not go into too much detail right away.
Description: This source has many different links that include information about things like the convention, delegate, and many other things surrounding the event.
Rationale: This resource has many different informational links and lets students decide for themselves what they want to learn more about, which lets them take control of their learning.
Description: This resource is the most in depth source and give the most information in a straight forward way.
Rationale: This source could be put at the end of the lesson as something a students can use to dive even deeper into their understanding of the convention.

Rational: An image of an old document showing the original bill of rights could have more of an impact on the students that the bill of rights being listed by me in an unoriginal way.
