For nearly two decades, one of our most popular resources has been our Constitution Clips - a collection of resources that help your students bring the U.S. Constitution, all 27 Amendments, and the three branches of government to life with video clips! And now, in recognition of America250, we’re excited to release a brand new Declaration Clips website!
Built with the same structure as our longstanding Constitution Clips, this new instructional resource helps students analyze and build modern-day connections with the Declaration of Independence, as we commemorate the 250th anniversary of the foundational document’s signing. Please click on the link above, check it out, and let us know what you think!
