BOE: Bottom of Email
Dear :
Constitution Day Live is approaching! Join the Bill of Rights Institute on Tuesday Sept. 17 for the Constitution Day program, Built for This: Debate, Dialogue, and the Constitution.
This year's theme will follow how the Constitution facilitates the process of disagreement, debate, and compromise through segments from scholars, BRI Student Fellows, and other special guests. In the upcoming weeks, we'll add viewing guides and other materials for educators to review and add to your classroom discussions. |
| |
|
We continue to offer our array of resources and materials to you at no charge. In addition to hundreds of lessons and classroom-ready activities, we also maintain a Current Events page
. Our team searches for recent news articles that explore relevant themes and connect those articles to our resources. And don’t forget about our Think The Vote platform – we hope it helps your student think critically about the world around them!
Warmly,
Laura Vlk
Director, Educator Engagement
