Get Ready to Learn
Welcome Little Patriots to the Constitution!
Liberty is going to help us learn a bit more about the document that established the new system of government in the United States, following our independence from the British. Time to start learning!
Warm-up: Have the students participate in the warm-up below
As a warm-up, have students independently write down their answers to the following question:
- What do you think the phrase “protection of freedoms” means?
Have a classroom discussion with the following questions:
- What does the word “freedoms” mean?
- How can you use the word “freedoms” in other sentences?
- What do you think the phrase “protection of freedoms” means? (Share what they wrote down.)
Students will see that everyone views “freedoms” through a different lens. Explain to the class that by the end of these lessons, they will probably have a new understanding of the word “freedoms” and why these are so important.
