Constitution Day
How will you recognize Constitution Day in your classroom? Education World has gathered resources that will help you find the perfect way -- whether you teach kindergarten or college. Dozens of lesson ideas and other resources provide the tools you will need to recognize Constitution Day this year and in years to come.
Starting with the school year 2005, all schools that receive
federal monies must "hold an educational program pertaining to the United
States Constitution on September 17 of each year." (If September 17 is
on a weekend day, schools must recognize Constitution Day the week before
or after.) While the instruction has been mandated, what that "educational program" entails is not detailed in
the notice
of implementation from the U.S. Department of Education, nor is it
detailed in the federal
appropriations bill that requires it. So it appears that the recognition
of Constitution Day is up to you.
U.S. Constitution:
A Brief History
In 1787, the Constitutional Congress held
it's final meeting on September 17. After months of painstaking
work, they met to sign the Constitution of the United States
of America. Of course much remained to be done; the states
still had to vote to ratify. It wouldn't be until two years
later -- on March 4, 1789 -- that the first U.S. Congress
met at Federal Hall in New York City to declare the new
Constitution to be in effect.
For that reason, Education World has gathered resources that should help
you figure out just how you might recognize the day. Below you will find
links to dozens of lesson ideas and other resources that should provide
the tools you will need to recognize Constitution Day this year and in
years to come.
BEST RESOURCES ONLINE Before we get to the lesson plans, let's take a look at some of the best online
resources for teaching about the U.S. Constitution.
The National Archives
Any study of the U.S. Constitution should begin with the resources of The National Archives. The National Archives, which is the home of the original copy of the U.S. Constitution, has been recognizing Constitution Day for many years. Their resources include actual images of the U.S. Constitution. You can view the images or click the Read Transcript button for a text version. The site also offers a clear and readable history of the creation of the Constitution, The Charters of Freedom: A New World Is at Hand, and biographies of the participants. A long list of questions and answers about the Constitution will help anyone better understand this historic document.
Constitution Day Implementation Guide
A Constitution Day Implementation Guide from NASPA (an association of student affairs administrators in higher education) offers excellent suggestions for Constitution Day programming. In addition to very doable programming suggestions, the guide includes background information on Constitution Day, statistics regarding constitutional knowledge vs. pop culture, and links to additional resources.
In Words You Can Understand
Do your students (or you) get bogged down in the terminology of the Constitution? Two online resources aim to help you clear the fog. The National Constitution Center offers an Interactive Constitution. Click on any of the images at the top of the page to read an explanation of an article or amendment. JusticeLearning.org presents a similar Constitution Guide; click on any article or amendment, then click the words What It Means for a straightforward explanation.
A Definitive Timeline
In Centuries of Citizenship: A Constitutional Timeline, the National Constitution Center offers a detailed description of the days leading up to the Constitutional Convention all the way to the latest challenges to it.
Creating a Constitution Gallery
The Library of Congress's American
Memory Collection offers a rich collection of images related to the
