Constitution Review I created.

US Constitution Class

If you would like to get a head start on learning about the US Constitution for your test in 7th grade or have an interest in Politics. This is the summer enrichment opportunity for you! I love teaching about the US Constitution, and I have created many different educational platforms for you to use to learn the material. I have included and will show you how to create my world-famous flashcards that students talk about for years. (I also recommend putting these flashcards in that special drawer you have and pull them back out your Junior year in High School where you must take the US Constitution Test again. The test in High School may be more in depth, but the foundation that I will teach you will not change.

Print pages 4-18 one sided. These are the pages that you will use to make your flash cards on 3 x 5 index cards. Pages 19-21 are pictures of the front and the back of the flashcards so you know exactly how you should cut and paste each card. When you are finished you will have 40 flashcards. Once you finish making your flashcards, I tell my students to study these flashcards for 3 minutes a day. No more, no less; and I will guarantee an "A". Then pages 22-26 is a Constitution Review to complete once you have studied your flashcards for days and days and you feel confident to complete the Review on your own with no notes.
