What teachers say about the Bill of Rights Gallery Walk:
I used this activity at the end of the year to introduce my students to the Constitution/BOR. Our 8th grade teachers appreciate it when students already have knowledge/understanding of the topic. This was a great way to introduce the topic. Very engaging.
My students loved this resource. They love activities where they are cooperating with others and most importantly, out of their desks! This kept everyone engaged and I go t almost 100% thumbs up. I do have a few who prefer to work quietly at their desks.
Students did an awesome job presenting their amendment and it was wonderful to see so many different posters! We hung them up and did a gallery walk too, which they really liked!
Amazing! My students engaged fully in this project & seemed to enjoy the group activity. I know they gained a thorough knowledge about the Bill of Rights. Great success!
Great way to introduce the Bill of Rights and get students out of their seats to become experts on their amendment. Students enjoyed the activity!
