ONLINE LESSON:
Constitution Day
No homework, workbook activities, or assessment.
The "review" question is as follows,
"Discuss the importance of the Declaration of Independence.
How would our lives be different if the colonies
had not declared their independence?"
CONCLUSION:
THIS LESSON COMMITS THE SIN OF OMISSION. AN INCREDIBLY BRIEF DISCUSSION OF THE CONSTITUTION IS PRESENTED AND THE STUDENT WATCHES A SHORT (3 MINUTE) VIDEO ABOUT IT. WHILE THE INFORMATION IS FACTUAL, NOWHERE IN THE LESSON DOES THE CONSTITUTION ITSELF ACTUALLY APPEAR. THERE IS NO SCHOOLWORK OR HOMEWORK FOR THE STUDENT TO PERSONALLY READ ALL OR PART OF THE CONSTITUTION. THERE ARE NO WORKBOOK ACTIVITIES PROVIDED ABOUT IT. THE ONLY REVIEW QUESTION IS, ODDLY ENOUGH, ABOUT THE Declaration of Independence! WHILE THIS IS AN EQUALLY IMPORTANT DOCUMENT, THE NAME OF THE LESSON IS "CONSTITUTION DAY"! MOST TELLINGLY, THERE IS NO QUIZ AT THE END OF THE LESSON ASSESSING WHAT THE STUDENT KNOWS ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION. SHOULDN'T THIS FOUNDATIONAL DOCUMENT REQUIRE AT LEAST SOME STUDY?
