C-Span Classroom: Constitution Clips

At C-Span classroom they have posted several 3-5 minute clips from C-Span scholars, politicians, judges, etc on the various elements of the constitution. They are organized within the text of the Constitution on that page, and can be played directly from their website. 

If you create a teacher login for C-Span Classroom, then you can save clips to a personal library or playlist.

Ferguson, 1896.  On November 15, we will discuss the case that overturned Plessy and held that separate public school facilities were inherently unequal: Brown v. Board of Education, 1954. Both complementary webinars will feature content and strategies for teaching document-based questions.  Each participant will receive a free lesson plan, answer key, and professional development certificate.
