    This is a handy cheat sheet to compare the major differences between the Federalists and Antifederalists. It also includes an activity called "Who would say that?" that would help kids to apply their knowledge.

    This is a great site for middle and high school. Emily, now I see where you got your material for your lesson.

    This is a great site on the French Revolution that would be useful for anyone who wants to have students look at documents comparing the American Revolution to the French Revolution. There are things there like Olympia De Gouges' Declaration of the Rights of Women that are great for that kind of activity

    Primary Source Document of the Magna Carta is a good document to compare with the Declaration of Independence.

    I suspect elementary kids would have trouble with this. You might show them the actual wording but give them a masterfully watered down version.

  • Zachary Barr on 12 Dec 13
     
    I stumbled upon this website while looking up the Bill of Rights. It's too young for me to use with the majority of my students, but I think it'd be great for fifth grade. It breaks down the Bill of Rights into accessible statements, and they look to have a whole series of pages for kids.

    You might use this with kids on Ed Plans or with ELLs, though even some of this vocab might be tough without scaffolding.

    I was just doing the election of 1800 with my class and used this entertaining video to introduce a mini-project on the 1800 campaign. It used actual words that the mouthpieces of Adams and Jefferson used to produce a modern-day attack ad

    I love this! High schools kids are sophisticated enough to read between these lines and I can imagine you have fun with this!

    Written by historian Paul Finkelman, a very opinionated takedown of Jefferson that could be used as part of a critical study of slavery and the founders. I tried to preface our look at the article with a discussion of the dangers of judging historical figures by contemporary standards, but most kids remained firmly in the "monster" camp anyway

    This is a great, detailed exploration of the timeline of the passage and ratification of the 14th amendment from 1866-1868.The site as a whole provides details and timelines for many of the great events of American history, as covered by Harpers Weekly. It's also a great place to access cartoons for use in class!
  • Janet Buerklin on 16 Dec 13
     
    Since the 14th amendment is one of the amendments we tend to concentrate on in the classroom, this is a particularly helpful site. There are so many ways to go with the amendment so teachers need to be picky about what they have time to accomplish. With this website, you have a variety of things to consider before figuring out what you will actually do with students in the amount of time you have.

    I am really excited to use this website and all that it has to offer in terms of teaching about the Constitution as a living document. Peter Sagal's journeys across America and reflects on the magnificence and limitations of the Constitution. He speaks in student-friendly language, uses compelling graphics, and addresses ideas that will attract student attention (such as women in sports and how far we have come).
  • Janet Buerklin on 16 Dec 13
     
    And, there are differentiated guides for middle and high school. Anything coming from PBS is reliable and well-researched.

    This website provides a great breakdown of the Constitution in kid-friendly language. It can be a great resource for lower achieving students who are trying to tackle the often complex language of the document.

    I like this site because it is so available for middle school kids. Well worth bookmarking and using.

    I referenced this site back when we were studying the expansion of voting rights. I found this page helpful in particular for learning more about the role women played in passing the Fourteenth Amendment, even though it did not give them the vote. This site in general also has a lot of useful information and suggestions.

    I wish I had found this site back in September! I really like all of the resources laid out on this website, it's easy to navigate, and something I could imagine letting my students explore too. I especially had fun playing "Which Founder Are You?" Turns out I'm George Mason.
