Have an AP class that needs help with DBQ primary source documents? Do you want to introduce primary source documents to your class? Use the Constitution Day Workshop by the National Archives as a resource.

Many different references ranging from war orders of sent by Lincoln to Grant to Albert Einstein's immigration papers. You can print up copies of the information or view them online in the computer lab or project them for use as a class.

From the National Constitution Museum, an all day webcast is available. This year's video is called "Constitution Hall Pass: Freedom of Expression".
