We the People

In class today, we discussed the use of We the People in a fourth and fifth grade classroom. We the People is a unit that teaches students about the rights of the American people. Not only do the students learn about their rights, they also defend them in a mock hearing in their classroom. I think this is a great way for students to learn! It is a hands on experience that makes the students really think about what it is they are defending. It is a great citizenship lesson that is very informational and fun!
