    There has been a lot of controversy over Judge Thomas' attendance and remarks at this dinner. An interesting conversation to have with students about the idea of impartiality and how our experiences shape our choices.

    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.

    Designed for 4th through 12th grade, has pre quizzes, an interactive tour and post quizzes. Solid explanations of processes, understandable by kids around middle school age and up, not dumbed down though. I can see having this as a center-type activity.

    I have used this site for years to introduce the structure of our government and more. It is broken down by grade so every teacher, k-12 will find this incredibly useful. Great visuals and a better explanation of our confusing election process than I've ever seen.

    This is a very useful website for the elementary classroom. I've had students do research using this site. It definitely over simplifies the amendments, but for yound learners it makes them understandable. Lots of great parent and teacher links too!

    I actually found this site after I read Janet's piece on narrative in history. The article that we read this week on the creation of the Constitution made me think of this site, as that piece drove home the power of narrative to engage learners. This site offers a great outline for those of us in the position to teach the writing of historical narrative.
