Constitution Outline Project
Here you are—you are finally going to have an open note test. Have you
ever really taken a close look at our Constitution? Well you will now. The
Constitution is the most important document in the world. It separates the
United States from any country in the world. And guess what, you are going
to outline the entire document in your own words. ( including the
Amendments) In order to do a good job on the Constitution test, you must
do a good job outlining the Constitution. The better the outline, the better
potential grade on the test.
