An Internet Guide to Teaching the Constitution
Risinger, C. Frederick
Social Education, v69 n5 p248 Sep 2005
In 2004, Congress passed and President Bush signed legislation designating every September 17 as Constitution Day and suggesting that all schools teach about the Constitution on that day. There are innumerable websites, countless lesson plans and a multitude of other teaching resources on the topic. Teachers were inundated with brochures, catalogs, posters, and e-mails about teaching the Constitution. The problem is that most of these websites offering materials, lesson plans, primary documents, and similar information, are quite good that teachers find it difficult to differentiate or choose. Moreover, nearly all the websites have myriad links to dozens of similar sites. In an attempt to help teachers and administrators and to comply with Congress's directive to teach about the Constitution, the author offers a guide and a brief description of the site's resources that will direct to a specific document or lesson.
