Today was ‘Constitution Day.’ In class we went over what was the constitution and what rights does it provide the people of the US.
After having a discussion and watching the video on the Constitution, I put the students into 10 groups (one for each amendment of the Bill of Rights). They were to create a poster that would have 1) a Title, 2) the original text, 3) kid-friendly text, and 4) a picture.
Each group was to create their poster about their designated amendment.
Tomorrow we will continue with the 5 themes of geography and students will be given a project to work on.
I plan to have our first test on everything we have covered either next Monday or Tuesday. Students will be provided a study guide beforehand.
Thank you
p.s. students who were absent today do not need to worry about the poster for the amendment
