Striking a Deal - Compromises of the Constitution

Sale Price: $0.00 Original Price: $20.00

Welcome to Philadelphia in 1787, where the air is thick with humidity, tension, and the smell of compromise. Striking a Deal: Compromises of the Constitution is a fully immersive, AI-supported simulation experience that places students in the center of the Constitutional Convention. Guided by vivid historical narration and responsive dialogue, learners step into the role of delegates grappling with representation, slavery, and the fragile balance between liberty and order.

This ready-to-teach package blends interactive role-play, creative post-simulation projects, and teacher-friendly materials that make complex constitutional debates accessible, engaging, and surprisingly fun. Your students will not just learn about the Great Compromise; they will negotiate it.

What’s Included

  • Background Context Presentation - Sets the stage with a five-slide overview on background, key figures, and core constitutional ideas, helping students grasp the stakes before they begin negotiating.

  • Simulation Instructions - The simulation guides students through a fully interactive experience where learners debate issues like representation, federal power, and slavery in three historical scenarios.

  • Extension Project - A three creative post-simulation projects. A historical “What If?” story, a persuasive delegate speech, or a political cartoon that are each paired with a reflection on responsible AI use and historical reasoning.

  • Scoring Rubric - Provides a clear framework covering historical understanding, creativity, evidence, communication, and reflection, making grading simple and consistent across projects.

Optional Add-On: AI Grading Assistant
