The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for The Bill of Rights:
Overview In this experience, students brainstorm freedoms that they enjoy. Then they watch a video about the Bill of Rights and create a summary chart of each right. Then they analyze the First Amendment and identify examples of limitations it puts on the government. Finally they evaluate freedom of speech, and whether there are limits to this freedom. The Student Pack contains an optional video, which serves as a good overview of the Bill of Rights. You may choose to assign the video for students to watch at home before beginning the experience in class. There is no Evaluate scene in this experience. The Review is a 10-question quiz for summarizing Celebrate Freedom Week. Estimated duration: 40-50 minutes Vocabulary words: Objectives
