Teachers and parents can use this to make the Constitution accessible on many levels. The program is targeted at junior high and high school freshmen and sophomores and is divided into sections corresponding to the articles of the Constitution. With contributions from experts on constitutional history and theory, the program lacks flashy production values but is nonetheless engaging. Considerable information is packed into 50 minutes, so kids won't be able to unpack all the information in one viewing. Teachers should think about showing different snippets over the course of a longer unit on the Constitution. --Erik Macki Product Description: We the People of the United States... No official document begins more memorably than the opening words of the Preamble of The Constitution of the United States of America. This dynamic, enduring, document is the supreme law of the land. It is designed to enhance the value and dignity of the individual and make certain the individual is never a servant to the state. Chief Justice John Marshall said, early in the 19th century, that the Constitution is "intended to endure for ages to come, and consequently, to be adapted to the various crises of human affairs." The Constitution is one of the most important and versatile documents ever written, brilliantly conceived and providing for and orderly system of government. From the assembly of Congress to checks and balances, the Constitution has served as the backbone for creating and maintaining the greatest nation in history and its values remain as viable and fresh today than when it was written. This Just the Facts production combines the insight of American Political Science experts on the interpretation of The Constitution, with live action and photography to explain and amplify the most important document in America. The 'Just the Facts' Learning Series brings facts and information straight to your TV in an appealing way that makes learning compelling and fun to watch! Special Features: Interactive Full-Motion Menus, Scene Index, A Teacher's User Guide, Bonus Profile of John Locke, Multiple-Choice Quiz, U.S. Constitution Complete Text with Printable PDF, DVD Trailers |
