=**A New Nation**=
 * Four Resources Used for the Articles of Confederation Project:**

Resource 1: Prolman, Marilyn. //Cornerstones of Freedom: The Story of the Constitution//. Chicago: Childrens Press, 1995. Print. Resource 2: Spier, Peter. //We the People: The Constitution of the United States of America//. N.p.: Doubleday, 1987. N. pag. Print. Resource 3: Markham, Lois. “The Constitution.” //Kids Discover// 2009: 1-18. Print. Resource 4: Berson, Dr. Michael J., Dr. Tyrone C. Howard, and Dr. Cinthia Salinas. “Unit 4: A Growing Nation.” //Harcourt Social Studies: the United States//. 2007. Print. After a poll was taken, the class was unanimous, voting the first two resources were the most informative. They felt that resources three and four both repeated the main issues stated in the first two resources, but with less detail. If they had begun the research project with resources three an four, they felt that they would have retrieved the main points from those resources first, which would have made them a little more helpful, but resources one and two still provided more details. One student felt there was some conflicting information between two resources, but after looking at the details more closely realized that wasn't the case.
