Teacher Tips

When using this lapbook with younger students, I taught the US Constitution as we completed the lapbook together. Older students can use this resource for taking notes while researching the Constitution on their own.

Save money by creating this lapbook on large construction paper rather than using file folders. It is so easy to make this activity more patriotic looking by using blue or red construction paper and your students will love the bright colors.

This resource was created to support the following social studies TEKS:

3.10A - identify the purposes of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, including the Bill of Rights

4.15C - identify the intent, meaning, and importance of the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Bill of Rights (Celebrate Freedom Week)

5.15B - explain the purposes of the U.S. Constitution as identified in the Preamble;

5.16A - identify and explain the basic functions of the three branches of government;
