Some Fun Constitutional Resources

You may think it's silly, but one of the best resources I have come across for the writing of the Constitution is a children's picture book by Jean Fritz called, "Shhh!  We're Writing the Constitution"

 If you have a copy of this book or can get it from the library I suggest you do so!  If you can't get a copy, you can watch this version from School Tube, but is not the book in it's entirety - it leaves out quite a bit.  This isn't bad, but I recommend the book above just the video!  

You guys may be too young to know about School House Rocks, but here is a short clip of the Preamble to the Constitution (which by the way is an option for your recitation):

If you do choose to memorize the Preamble, though --- try to do a better job than Barney!!

Revolutionary War Tree Timeline

I found this image online at a site called RosewoodTimes.  I'm not sure of the origin of the illustration, but I thought it might be a helpful reference for those of you who are visual.  If you would like a copy to print out and put in your notebook let me know and I'll send it in an email.
