Organizing Information

Plus, MUCH MORE!!
Upon learning how to think like a historian, students will then implement the historical inquiry strategies that have just been introduced to them by examining and researching the meaning, purpose, and intent of the:
- Declaration of Independence
- U.S. Constitution
- Preamble of the Constitution
- And, the Pledge of Allegiance
Your students will build a solid foundation for future learning from these important historical documents. They'll be given a thorough introduction to what each of these important historical documents is and why they are important; for example, a thorough breakdown and analysis of the Preamble of the Constitution, which explains and outlines its many purposes (in addition to exercises aimed at helping them memorize the Preamble).
Through the use of these important historical topics, students are effectively assessed on their ability to properly use primary and secondary sources, analyze and organize information, all while gaining exposure to these important historical documents.
