The Constitution


If you did not finish Friday's assignment, be sure to do so before moving on. Remember, you had a film, a scavenger hunt, and the Constitutional Convention Rags to Riches game to complete. Show the substitute teacher when you have completed one of these assignments.


When you are finished, follow these instructions:

1) Find the School House Rock section of the blog and click on the Preamble. You will be asked to memorize the Preamble, and write it on the Constitution test. Learn the song, sing it, commit it to memory. It helps to look at the words while you watch the video. Under the video, you will see a place that says lyrics. Click on it and you will see all of the words to the Preamble as you listen to the song. The only difference in the song and the actual preamble is that the song leaves out the phrase "of the United States" after We the People...


2) Under formative assessments you will see a We The People Puzzle. Complete the puzzle.

Show the substitute. You can use your textbook to complete the puzzle, or just do a google search for preamble to the Constitution.

3) Continue to listen to the video, and working on the puzzle, until you can complete the puzzle without looking at the preamble.
