Each year, this method proves to be one of the best ways for my students to comprehend the information and layout of the U.S. Constitution. In addition, I also like to use Constitution: The Articles, Primary Source in my unit on the Constitution. This product goes even more in-depth on the original 7 articles of the Constitution!
