This issue provides classroom activities, information on the U.S. Constitution and the Constitutional Convention, and a summary of materials available to teachers for instruction about the U.S. Constitution. Jean Fritz's book, "Shh! We're Writing the Constitution," is an example of the books on the annotated list of suggested readings. In one of the writing activities, students actually participate in writing a constitution. This enhances student understanding of the necessity of rules, individual responsibilities, and individual freedom while concurrently improving their writing skills. Making a population map of the 13 colonies enhances student understanding of the nation's growth and is one of the several suggested map activities. Arts and crafts activities are suggested that can transform the classroom into an appropriate early-American setting for carrying out the study of the Constitution. Other activities include role playing and games. A calendar of commemorative dates is included, and the issue concludes with a list of organizations that produce materials for instruction about the U.S. Constitution. (SM)
