Questions teachers ask about this resource

Does the PDF include student lessons or just substitute forms?

It includes both: five days of Constitution-themed reading and writing tasks, plus directions, planning forms and answer pages.

Are the George Washington letters primary-source transcriptions?

The packet identifies them as fiction in its comparison activity. Use them as imagined first-person accounts alongside the informational reading.
