So What's Inside Being an American?
This resource encourages students to consider the principles and virtues that are at the heart of the United States. Students analyze our three most important founding documents—the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights—in order to understand their main ideas and their relationship to each other as well as their impact on U.S. history and student’s every day lives.

Designed for 8th-9th graders, but with a differentiated learning approach, this resource can be adjusted for use in lower grades. The differentiation will also be valuable for educators who have ESL students. The resource includes a vocabulary glossary, ample space to summarize small chunks of text to help with comprehension, and shortened versions of primary sources that hold students’ attention while fostering critical thinking.

We've Made It Easy For Teachers and Students to Use
In addition to the primary source sets, each unit also contains an introductory essay, a graphic organizer to help students catalog the primary sources, a culminating analysis and discussion organizer, and an answer key (available when logged in with an Educator profile). Our team has worked diligently to ensure that this resource will be easy to use in your classroom.
