Re: Questions on 8th Grade Constitution Idea
Posted by: curiositycat on 10/25/09
The History Alive! program for eighth grade has some great
interactive activities for the Constitution and the Bill of
Rights. In fact, the Bill of Rights unit is my favorite one. If
you're unfamiliar with History Alive!, their website is
teachtci.com. I'm sure you can find the materials second-hand
on other websites, too.
