Federal legislation requires schools in the United States to offer lessons related to the U.S. Constitution on U.S. Constitution Day — September 17th of each year.
Here are my choices for The Best Sites For Learning About The Constitution Of The United States:
The Constitution Center has to be everybody’s first stop. It has a ton of resources. They are particularly known for their Interactive Constitution and lots of other online interactives and games.
Here are collections of the online lessons I used in my United States History classes last year on the Bill of Rights and on the Constitution.
The Constitution For Kids has three “levels” of explanations about the U.S. Constitution. An English Language Learner — from high Beginning to Advanced — can choose which one he/she finds most accessible.
The History Channel has many multimedia features related to the Constitution.
How Stuff Works has many videos related to the Constitution.
Here’s an interactive “learning object” from the Wisconsin Online Resource Center on Amendments To The Constitution.
The Henry Ford Museum has a short Constitution I.Q. test that would be accessible to English Language Learners after they have studied about the United States government.
Here’s a bilingual (English/Spanish) glossary for the Constitution.
Quiz Tree has some interactive quizzes on the Constitution.
Celebrate The Constitution comes from Scholastic.
Here’s an interactive on the Bill of Rights.
