North and South Answer Key

Students participate in a THINK-PAIR-SHARE activity centered on the question: Was the Missouri Compromise fair to both the North and the South? They begin with an individual written response, then discuss their thoughts with a partner, and finally share an idea with the class. This structure promotes reflective thinking, collaboration, and communication skills. Learners evaluate fairness, consider multiple perspectives, and practice evidence-based reasoning. The worksheet strengthens social studies inquiry and civic discussion habits.
