game congress bill passing federal government

    Great Game that allows you to create a politician and try to pass a bill through congress.  You must read through constituents letters, decide on an issue to focus on, rally support, compromise with the other house and send the bill to the president. I had a lot of fun playing it and I think students would as well.

    This is the National Archives' "Charters of Freedom" website. In addition to having full transcriptions of the DOI, Constitution, and Bill of Rights, there are links to many ancillary materials as well. Included in the site are lesson suggestions, other primary source materials, and scholarly essays about the legacy of our Founding Documents.

    This site has good pdf links to all the founding documents.  Additionally, it includes a section on using the Constitution and connecting it to current events.  I have used this before in class and it works great (and it includes recent news - from the past week!).  It also includes various lessons to use too.

    The Bill of Rights institute offers a wealth of materials for teachers. In addition to copies of each of the Founding Documents and accompanying essays about each, there are many other materials on the site. Among my favorite resources are the many lesson plans made for teachers of all levels.

    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.

    This website is a great glossary of many Supreme Court cases that dealt with interpreting the Bill of Rights. Some of the topics covered are Religious Liberty, Personal LIberty, Students, Freedom of Speech. This website is a great resource for anyone trying to teach the Bill of Rights through cases.
  • Karin Kugel on 09 Nov 13
     
    This website has lots of great resources for teaching the Bill of Rights, but this page does a nice job of organizing landmark cases by rights and giving brief, student friendly summaries which would be really helpful in teaching.

    I particularly like the section specifically related to students and The Supreme Court. Thanks.

    In my search for court cases that would both illustrate the 'enduring legacy' of the Bill of Rights' and be of interest and relevant to younger students, I found this site. Very clear, brief explanations on a timeline of court rulings re: educaction, some of them centering around children's rights.

    Elementary students can use this website to understand how a bill becomes a law. The process is broken down in child friendly language and there is a great interactive glossary. Students can hover the mouse over a word and the definition will pop up.

    This site includes many primary resources on the founding documents.  While I think it might be a little overwhelming for students to use, teachers could use the annotated Constitution section which gives excellent notes, information and writings about the Constitution and the BIll of Rights.  It also includes a lot of supporting primary documents that assisted in writing the founding documents.

    If you click on the resource section on the left side of the website there are great timelines and resources regarding the Chinese in America. There is census data and a list of organizations that can help you with resources. There is a lot to dig through on this site, but worth the effort.

    This gives a sample of the most celebrated documents and milestones in history. I thought it was interesting to be able to click on a plethora of links not on just the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, Constittution, Bill of Rights but also links to the Emancipation Proclamation, Social Security Act, FDR's "Day of Infamy" speech and much more.

    The National Archives is truly a remarkable site. Remember when we had to teach history without the richness of all the documents we can now get online?

    This is a lesson plan that focuses on freedom of religion, specifically as it pertains to school prayer in the case of Engel v. Vitale (1962). It looks like a case in which students can really invest themselves, and has additional cases to build off of in extension opportunities.

    What doesn't the Standford History Education Group have on their site? The site offers everything from lesson plans, to primary source materials, to pedagogical approaches to teaching history, to assessment materials. This site has especially great tools for getting students to think like historians!

    The American Civil Liberties Union has a vast array of materials hosted on their site. Perhaps the materials of greatest use to teachers are the frequent "news releases" about issues pertaining to our individual freedoms that are currently in the news.

    The is a site that teachers should bookmark and read weekly because it keeps you up to date with the issues of the day.

    This website is great, because it sorts court cases by topic/amendment addressed. Also, because it's from the ACLU, all of the issues revolve around people's rights in a concrete way, which makes it accessible for students.

    Zach, I do like the way the site is organized. It makes such a difference when the site does not fight the user.
