We can learn a great deal from our country’s founding documents, but understanding them can be tricky. Equip students to comprehend these historical documents through guided readings. Documents covered are the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. Provided in the worktext are the literature excerpts and the discussion questions. Students will work primarily on reading informational texts and organizing what they comprehend for the text. This includes primary source analysis, summarizing information, and dedicated writing assignments at the end of each unit. Worktexts are reproducible for family and classroom use. No answer keys are available. 56 pgs., paperback. ~Rebecca
