Kayla's+Web+Evaluations

C**omments:** The Constitution for Kids website has a lot of information that will pertain to lessons I will teach in class. This site is great for lower elementary students who have little or no previous knowledge of the Constitution. The wording in this site would be very easy for a young student to comprehend and it gives some examples which would also help with the understanding of the material. There is a link to view pictures of the Constitution which is easily accessible and would be beneficial to the historical aspects of the lesson. The page is very simple to navigate, but may be too simple. It may look like too many words for young students to remain interested. As a classroom teacher, I would assign a homework assignment to complete while on the site. I believe this site could also be used for in class activities, possibly splitting the class into small groups and have them work in their groups. The site is very easy to navigate so the class would be able to work on the site without much assistance from the teacher. The site contains a lot of useful information that could easily be utilized by an elementary teacher.-(ML)

Comments:** Congress for Kids is a great tool. There are many different links students can utilize to learn about the Constitution. This site is easily accessible and very well organized. Students should probably use this site after having some knowledge about the Constitution. A limitation of this site may be that there are not many examples to relate the Constitution to everyday life, but there is a whole page dedicated to the amendment giving women the right to vote. I would use this website for a group activity in the classroom, so students could discuss what they learn and ask questions.
