Federalism Interactive Chart

Students will define and identify examples of enumerated, concurrent, and reserved powers set forth by the U.S. Constitution. Each student will be provided a blank chart and a set of cards they will use to complete their charts. Each card contains either a definition or example of an enumerated, concurrent, or reserved power of government. In pairs or small groups, students will go through each card and discuss if they believe the power is held by the national government, state governments, or shared between the two. This lesson requires one chart per student, a set of cards to complete the chart, and approximately 30 minutes of class time. A PowerPoint lesson is included along with a completed chart for reference.
