Social studies teachers may be interested in this lesson plan from the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History. Created with students grades 6-12 in mind and designed to take place in 3 sessions, this lesson plan focuses on the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. In the first session, students are asked to learn about and compare George Washington with George Mason, who argued for the Bill of Rights to be added to the Constitution. For the second session, students work in groups to examine individual amendments more closely, rewrite them in more familiar language, and discuss their order of importance. Finally, in the third session, students discuss the constitutionality of different scenarios using the Bill of Rights to support their arguments. These scenarios, as well as links to the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and background contextual material, are provided. This free lesson plan is one of many available on the Gilder Lehrman Institute's website. Founded in 1994, the nonprofit Gilder Lehrman Institute is "dedicated to K-12 history education while also serving the general public."
