Civics
During this interactive program, students will focus on the purpose and continued relevance of the Bill of Rights. Using National Archives records, they will identify historical scenarios related to the First, Fourth, and Eighth Amendments of the Bill of Rights and make connections between these historical debates and their lives today.

Civics for All of US virtual programs are available for groups of 10 to 45 students free of charge. 

Each program will be led by one of our educators at the National Archives and requires that students complete a pre-program activity. 

We require that the requesting educator or another educator from your institution be present during the student distance learning program to observe the session and support classroom management.

Check out the teacher guide for this program for pre- and post- program activities.
