Ideas for using this Resource -

I created this product because I was in search of articles that I could read with my students for the creation of our New Nation after the American Revolution, the Constitution and also explained the government, but I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. These articles are based on the fourth grade curriculum that we teach in Georgia, but could be used for other grade levels and states. I also kept the ELA Common Core in mind when I was writing the comprehension questions.

I plan to use these as articles that we will paste into our Social Studies interactive notebooks. I have included at least one interactive activity or flip book for each New Nation, the Constitution, and Government article. I have also included comprehension questions for each article that can help with class discussion, but can also be used for a grade.

I will read the New Nation, the Constitution, and Government articles with my class, we will have discussion and I also use trade books (check out our blog Collaboration Cuties for more information on ideas for that.). Then, we will do the interactive activities or flip books together in our notebooks. After that, I will have the students answer the questions for a grade.

These passages are at a higher reading level since the vocabulary that is included in our Social Studies curriculum is more challenging. This is why I will read it aloud with my 4th graders. These articles will be great for differentiation if you teach 5th or 6th grade.

The question pages are great for classwork, morning work, or homework! They are great for daily grades too!

These New Nation, the Constitution and Government articles and worksheets can also be left as a review activity for a substitute teacher! You can also print and send this unit home for distance learning or at home learning.

Students love the engaging articles and interactive notebook activities!

Teachers like you said -

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"The format of this resource is so perfect. It provides an informational article, the interactive notebook and the comprehension questions. This has been so beneficial for my students!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"We do not have a SS curriculum. This resource was a great tool. The articles were perfect and the questions were awesome too. I highly recommend this product. My kids were begging to read about the the New Nation and our Government every day!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"I bought another packet of yours last year and absolutely loved it. This is the same great quality. My students always learn so much from your packets and enjoy the interactive notebook work. I love the way they have to use higher order thinking skills to fill in the organizers. A great tip for teachers is to cut out the materials for students to save time. If you put 8 to 10 of the sheets together, and staple the two top corners to keep them from sliding around, you can cut them out for an entire class fairly quickly."
