Hello. On September 17th schools across America will celebrate the birthday of our Constitution. According to law, each school in the country that receives federal money of any kind, is required to do some type of activity related to the Constitution.
Last year we created a short video with students and staff reading portions of the preamble. We show it on our building cable channel during student announcements on Constitution Day. We posted it on Teacher Tube and in the past year it has been viewed over 12,000 times. This year I am working on video with a slightly different theme and hope to have it completed for viewing on Monday.

Every law passed by congress must be examined carefully before lawmakers vote. They must examine it and see whether the law is allowed by the Constitution.
ReplyDeleteThis includes even the law to require schools to teach about the Constitution. Students find such an irony quite fun.
Similarly, we can examine an imaginary law that makes it illegal to say bad things about the Constitution on Constitution Day.
Colleges also have evening speakers and students can be made aware of those activities.
