Goal

Federal Law requires public schools to teach the U.S. Constitution on Constitution Day, September 17th. As civics teachers we want to celebrate the birthday of the U. S Constitution with our students in style. This activity will engage students with our content, while celebrating the importance and impact of this incredible document. 

 

Category

School-Wide, Grade-Level, Or Class Events/Programs - Parent Nights, Honor Roll Celebrations, EOY Events, etc. 

 

What will be done with my students

By transforming our classrooms into patriotic wonderlands, we will captivate each student in the brilliance of this living document. Each student will receive their own hard copy of the U. S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. They will be given a goodie bag with a patriotic pencil, pen, bracelet and treat. Then will embark on a scavenger hunt using the Constitution as a primary source to complete the quest. 

 

Benefits to my students

Students will become familiar with the structure and function of the Constitution and our government. This activity and celebration meets the state and federal requirements for our content. 7th grade civics students take a state end of course exam worth 30% of their final grade for our course. Understanding and being able to apply Constitutional principles is essential to student success on this test. 

 

Budget Narrative

These supplies will be purchased through Amazon. They will be used to transform three classrooms into patriotic wonderlands in order to celebrate the birthday of our U. S. Constitution.
