The United States Constitution and Bill of Rights

A whiteboard video on the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.

My students use the following textbook, some of whose units I have intended to summarize with these videos:

Alavosus, Laura, editor. Social Studies Alive! America's Past. Palo Alto: TCI, 2010.

The whiteboard designs and spoken commentary are all my own.

With the Bar exam coming up, this visual story is exactly what I needed to refresh my mind. Finally, a video that doesn't try to sell us something.
