Tuesday, Sept 17th: Constitution Day!

Posted by on September 16, 2019

Hello, happy Tuesday!

9/17 Quick Write:

Today is Constitution Day so we will take a look at one of the most recited parts of the United States Constitution: the Preamble.

While we examine the Preamble, you will be introduced the one of the reading tools we will be using in our upcoming Inquiry Investigation: The Bookmark. We will use this Bookmark extensively throughout this week, and today I will show you the different sections and aspects of the tool.

We will read through the Preamble, thinking about the Central Question: What were the authors’ purpose in writing the Preamble?

Using the Bookmark to guide us, we will try to establish a CLAIM as to why the Preamble was written, have EVIDENCE from the Preamble to back ourselves up, and explain our REASONING of the evidence.

Take a took at these slides to see the Bookmark introduction and our work with the Preamble.

Here is the Preamble handout:

Cheers, have a good day!
