Extractions: Today, I invite everyone to take a few moments to read the United States Constitution carefully, to engage with its history, its content, its authors' aspirations, and its lasting legacy. NEH, led by the staff of our EDSITEment project and the We the People program, has assembled documents, background essays, and a bibliography to help you celebrate this day and deepen your understanding of the United States Constitution.

Go to Constitution Day September 17th is Constitution Day, commemorating the day in 1787 when the Founding Fathers signed one of Americas most important documents. The United States Constitution is the oldest written national constitution still in operation, and many of the nations that have established themselves in the decades since that day in 1787 have turned to this document as a model for their own constitutions.

Extractions: Home Writing Literature Links ... Lessons An important note: Each lesson is in text format and will open in a new window; view the lesson and then simply close the window. I suggest that you save the lesson and then edit or format it in a word processor such as WordPerfect or MS Word. Index Most titles are links: just click on them and use the "back" button to return. I started out to do a lesson on poetry and before I knew it the whole thing was getting out of hand and I ended up with a page with links. I just like poetry too much and over the years I have developed more than a dozen integrated units that revolve around themes and/or styles. I have a firm belief that poetry has got to be taught within an easily understood frame such as "imagist' poetry or "love" poetry or "humanist" poetry or "modern problems"; you just can't throw a bunch of poems together and hope to get to the test with as little hassle as possible. There is one overwhelming argument in favour of teaching poetry and that is that it is a form of communication and part of an English teacher's job is to teach communication skills. You might also impress upon your students the following bit of thinking:
