"Constitution: Historical Development", US History, PowerPoint

The "Constitution: Historical Development" PowerPoint slideshow outlines key events and people instrumental in the creation of the United States Constitution. As a retired teacher of over 30 years, I designed this resource to aid educators in covering this important topic in U.S. history classes. The informative slides combine text and images in an engaging format. They can be used as lecture visuals, discussion launchers, or self-guided student review. Consider having students take Cornell notes while viewing the presentation. Research shows note-taking improves comprehension, especially methods eliciting higher-order thinking like summarizing and analyzing main ideas. Use this versatile resource for whole-class instruction, small groups, or individual assignments on the constitutional convention.
