This Constitution Day Back to School Class Constitution Group Project is an excellent back-to-school group activity for any social studies class or for Constitution Day each September 17 (or September 16th this year since it falls on a Saturday)!
Working in groups, students create a Class Constitution in the same format as our Constitution with a preamble, articles, and more! These are then presented and a final Class Constitution is created that can provide classroom rules for the whole year.
My classes worked on these the first week of school and I kept these posters hanging up in my room all year as a reminder that my students helped create the rules and it was a fantastic classroom management strategy!
A rubric for the activity is included for your convenience.
This lesson plan is also included in my Complete American History subscription plan with resources for the entire school year! That's over 600 amazing teaching resources - project based learning, PowerPoints, primary source activities, interactive notebooks - they're all there waiting to be download and used. Join today and you'll never have to worry about planning a lesson again!
