We the Kids: The Preamble of the Constitution: Preamble Scavenger Hunt

This is lesson #4 in the text unit series for “We the Kids,” by David Catrow. Students will identify and interpret academic vocabulary in the text. They will match vocabulary words to pictures to show the meaning of the words. Students will then write a sentence to demonstrate their comprehension of the meaning of each word.

This unit will help second grade students develop the meaning of the Preamble as part of the Constitution of the United States and its direct effect on their daily lives. Students will engage in various activities such as debating parts of the Preamble and complete a play interpreting patriotism. Throughout the unit, students will have to identify and interpret vocabulary, analyze the provided text, and demonstrate an understanding of the Preamble by providing relevant details. The teacher’s role in this unit will be to support their students' knowledge of the Preamble by facilitating research, reviewing student writing, and work.
