Principles of the Constitution

Sutori & the Seven Principles of the Constitution

Students will create engaging and interactive creations that will expound on what the 7 principles of the Constitution are and how they are reflected in the Constitution. 

Sutori is a website that you may have used for student timelines at the beginning of school. If not, it allows students to creatively present and interact with any given information. Teachers, you must first create an account - sign up with Google. Create a class for each section you teach. When you open the class, you'll see a class code that you will give your students when they login. They should sign up with a student using Google too. 

For this project, be sure to set clear expectations on what you what your students must include. Some ideas are:
  • a heading for each principle
  • text that defines each principle
  • a picture/video that depicts each principle
  • specific examples of the principle from the Constitution
  • a quiz question - multiple choice or drag & drop - for each principle
  • audio/video from the student perspective justifying why that principle is necessary

The one on the right is an example of a student created timeline. If you had students sign up with a class code, their creations can be shared directly with you.
