Secondary Students Explore the Constitution Through Interactive Lessons

East Islip High School and East Islip Middle School marked Constitution Day and Citizenship Day on Sept. 17 with social studies lessons focused on the rights, responsibilities and principles outlined in the U.S. Constitution.

Students in grades 7, 8, 11 and 12 received pocket Constitutions and took part in a variety of activities exploring the document’s history and continued relevance. Lessons included examining Supreme Court cases and using the Constitution to defend opinions on how those cases should be decided, answering questions drawn from the U.S. citizenship test and participating in a Constitution-themed fact-finding challenge.
