As we move closer to the all important United States Constitution test (the test will be given on Tuesday, December 3rd), I wanted to provide you all with new and different opportunities to prepare yourselves at home for one of our most important tests of the year. Below are links to resources that I have created and/or compiled for you to use at home over the next few weeks. These resources range from online flashcard sets, practice tests, and links to websites that are all designed to help prepare you to succeed on our Constitution test. You may also open the "Assignments" tab and click on the United States Constitution folder (Chapter 3) to access documents and presentations that we have used in class.
Quizlet: United States Constitution Exam Flash Cards
- Quizlet is an website/app that allows you to create flashcards and use them in a variety of creative ways. I have created a set of flash cards for the test that any of you can use simply to review key concepts, but if you mess around with the features enough you can see that Quizlet also lets you do things like playing review games, type out flash cards for repitition, and even take sample tests using the "Test" feature. At the very least, I would like for each of you to use the "Cards" portion of what I have set up to review key concepts such as your Articles, Amendments and Principles.
Constitution Center: Interactive Constitution
- To read the full text of the United States Constitution in a visually appealing format, the Constitution Center in Philadelphia has set up an "Interactive Constitution" website with each major Article and Amendment included, along with Annenberg Classroom notes and breakdowns of what each major portion of the document is stating.
Twyman-Whitney: Constitution in Plain English
- This resource allows you to access a PDF file that condenses the entire Constitution into 7 pages. This resource helps to give you a "Cliff Notes" version of a very complex document.
Twyman-Whitney: Amendments to the United States Constitution
- This resource is similar to the previously stated resource. This, however, is only the Amendments portion of the Constitution.
