Instructional Ideas

  • Laminate copies of the materials permit reuse
  • Have groups research in greater depth events mentioned in the background information sheet

Classroom Considerations

  • Part of the PBS Teaching the Constitution Collection
  • The collection includes similar packets for the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th Amendments
  • The facsimile is difficult to read; therefore, project the image along side the transcript

Pros

  • Provides primary source documents to support the study of the 19th Amendment

Cons

  • The packet does not include any support materials, discussion questions, or teaching tips
