What is our nation’s capital?  Was it always there?  Name the other locations of our nation’s capital.  DOK #2   1.8.11.B

Name the first president to govern in each of these capitals.

Why was the capital moved?  DOK#3  1.9.12.A

Who designed the nation’s capital we have today?

Speculate (another vocabulary word) on the reasons the capital might move today.  Explain your answer.  DOK#4

  2. Keith,

    I think you have them reversed. "Capitol" is the building while "capital" is money or the city.

    Good lesson though!
