Constitution Scavenger Hunt 8th, 11th, or 12th Grade

Created by

Mariah Carlile

This is a ten question introduction to the US Constitution. I use it when we begin the Constitution unit in 12th grade Civics. I have students work in pairs and give them approximately 15-20 minutes to complete it. I usually have it set up as a race, so they have fun with it (I usually provide an incentive for the first pair to have it completed correctly-candy, an apple, etc.). Then we go over it as a class. The key is the second page of the handout. The preview shows the first three questions.

Early American Voices Quote Activity & Drawing Activity

Created by

Mariah Carlile

This can be used for 8th grade or 11th grade US History. This provides six quotes from early American settlers then asks students to paraphrase the quote into his or her own words and then to explain who they thing said the quote. In some cases they may be able to figure out the actual person in others they may only be able to figure out it was a woman or an explorer. The fourth page of the handout includes a drawing activity, where students are asked to sketch one of the people from the quotes.

Get to Know You - Bag It Activity!

This is a fun activity for any grade level. I have used it in 7th-12th grade classes and it is a fun way to get to know your students and for your students to get to know each other. The handout is one page and I always passed it out the first day of class and had it due sometime the first week, but the second or third week would work as well. The activity requires students to do a 2-3 minute presentation. At the end of the presentation, make sure to have the entire class give a round of applaus

Experience

Teaching style

I like to use as many methods of teaching as possible. I have a very structured, organized classroom that is based on routines established the first weeks of school. I generally start each class with an opener, then we move into a short lecture, followed by an activity. Some days do call for all lecture and other days are guided practice. My favorite method is to use stations either as a recap or as an extension of a lesson.
