This lesson has a strong emphasis on analytic thinking and historical causation. Students engage with online maps, analyze census data from 1790, and read secondary sources (select either Map Tab or Documents Tab) to make evidence-based claims about why various states’ representatives held the positions they did on the Great Compromise and the Three Fifths Compromise. Students examine the impact of these two major political compromises on states’ political power, congressional representation, and representation of the enslaved population

I like this site, I chose to share one of the lesson plans that it gives for a secondary History teacher to use with his/her students. You can search the topic you are going over in class and then find a lesson that goes along with it. This lesson meets the State Standards for World History at the secondary level and has a few good tips and planning strategies, as well as a rubric for this particular lesson. The students will be using the internet as a source to find the census from 1790, and locate maps from this era.
