Preamble to the Constitution - Smart-board matching
This is a simple matching activity for my 7th grade Civics class on the Preamble to the Constitution. I import PowerPoint files into my Promethean board software as an "object." I ask my students to complete the matching in their notes and then call on a student to come up and draw a line from the key term to the correct definition. Kids love drawing on a smart-board!. This is a good warm-up / bell ringer activity.
