How Democracy was Built

Help me give my students materials to create interactive notebooks, which will serve as a valuable resource for reviewing content throughout the year. This notebook will help students prepare for unit tests and the state assessment.

My Project

My students are resilient, dedicated, and driven. I enjoy watching their growth as we build meaningful relationships throughout the year. The materials will be used to create interactive notebooks that help students prepare for assignments and unit tests. The paper will be used for making foldables and interactive notes, while markers will add color and creativity, boosting engagement and retention. Students will also explore the foundations of American democracy, focusing on the key historical documents that influenced its development and helped shape the democratic principles we follow in the United States of America today.
