The Civic Story Comes Back to Us

Reader Unit 22, pages 85-88 of The Constitution Kids.

As you finish, name one civic habit the characters practiced and one you can practice outside the story.

The closing reader unit returns the constitutional system to ordinary people, asking what habits keep the story alive after the final page.

Core civic idea: A constitutional system depends on citizens who practice fairness, attention, responsibility, and participation.

What does it mean to be a responsible member of your community in today's world?

Assign the reading, then use the connected topic as the classroom explainer or discussion guide.

A short video lesson connecting this part of the story to the civic idea is planned.
