How is history related to me? How is the Constitution applicable to my life? Why do I care? Well, here is your opportunity to show what you know and earn money while doing it.

The Constitution
Good morning all! Well, last week we have been spending a lot of quality time getting to know the constitution. As you know, your learning goals were to be able to interpret the intent of the Constitution as well know the 6 guiding priniciples of the Constituion and apply them to specific examples. I am pleased to say that you have performed very well on this task
I think using the Constitution App on the i Pad really helped. I encourage you to spend time looking at more history apps. There are so many that are free and I have 12 of those apps on my phone alone.
As we continue to analyze the limiations of the Constitution, please take the time to be thinking about how this document applies to your life.
Until we meet again, check out this fun game about Checks and Balances (one of the 6 principles that we learned about and how it limits the Constitution)
