So this is my final project. This includes three different lessons about the Constitution. This is a change from what I stated in my project proposal. I was originally going do do a series of lessons on the American revolution and quickly realized that was unrealistic for the amount of time I could give to this project and therefor switched to a more manageable project. These lessons attempt to provide the information about three different aspects of the constitution. First, the background of its writing with an overview of the Preamble. Second a look at the separation of powers that give our government three branches. Third the first ten amendments that give us the bill of rights. I attempted to do this in the least boring way possible as this topic is generally understood to be boring (can't imagine why). I included several activities to get the students involved in the learning of this topic. The class would create their own constitution based on the principles found in the preamble they would play a group game with fellow students about the three different branches of Government, and lastly they play a bingo game based on the bill of right as well as completing a worksheet about the ten amendments.
This has been fun and at the same time challenging to create, I hope you enjoy it.
