On September 17, 1787, delegates at the Constitutional Convention signed the document they had created. To mark this event, schools teach about the Constitution every year on the anniversary. However, explaining the Constitution to students can be a challenge. Here are a few free Constitution and Citizenship Day resources—just in time to help!
 Thinkfinity, sponsored by Verizon, offers links to Constitution Day activities across the web. The resources have been reviewed to ensure that the content is up-to-date and appropriate for students. |
