 * Short on Time?:**

 **Opportunities for In-Depth Explorations:** Read the original version of the Mayflower Compact aloud to the class. Then have students read a rewritten modern version of the document. When they have finished reading, ask students why the Pilgrims thought it was so important to set up a government in their new home. Ask students to imagine what life in their community would be like if there were no laws governing how people should treat each other. What would happen in a classroom that had no rules and no teacher? Why? Students will be assigned or choose a side of the pros and cons for having a classroom with no rules and substantiate their perspective via a classroom debate and final vote.
