Lessons and classroom tools for teachers and learning-at-home families.

Find a lesson

Start with something you want to teach: a civic topic, a story from the book, a blog article, or a public hearing. Open the source and choose Create a lesson. Select a civic focus and your class details, then review and adapt the draft before saving it to your workspace. For a hearing, choose the recording or agenda you want students to examine.

Civic topics

Rights, government, and current questions to discuss with your students.

Stories in the book

Connect the friends' encounters with the constitutional ideas they discover.

Government in action

Bring public hearings and civic broadcasts into the conversation.

Start with The Protest

Try this reading and discussion sequence before planning a longer unit. The opening includes a firearm and an escalating confrontation; read it first to decide whether it fits your students.

  1. Read the opening

    Read Chapter 1 free, without an account. The full book requires access. Ask readers to mark a detail that makes them curious about the protest.

  2. Discuss the evidence

    • What do Alex, Kali, and Roman each notice or ask at the protest? Point to a detail that supports your reading.
    • One protester claims a constitutional right to gather. What would you need to check beyond the story before deciding whether that claim fits the crowd's actions?

  3. Check a source

    Compare the character's claim with the rights companion and follow its National Archives transcript link. Fictional dialogue is not a statement of current law. Which part of the source helps answer your question, and what remains uncertain?

  4. Reflect

    Write a short claim, support it with one detail from the scene and one from the source, and explain a question you still have. Review the responses together rather than treating the activity as a scored assessment.
