Why did you choose this?
Does this workbook go along with the Social Studies Activity book Understanding the U.S. Constitution?
They are not formally part of the same series. However, they are from the same publisher and cover roughly the same information. They would be very complementary.
would this be too easy, as far as, info and content for a 10th grader?
I'm using it with mt 10th grader but only as a secondary book. It's a very basic facts sort of text with no in depth information. If you're just looking for an overview or additional source, I think it would be okay for a 10th grader. It won't be challenging for that level but it does have a lot of good, concise information and lots of quizzes to test if they are comprehending.
Is this secular?
It is factual, no commentary. Very informative for understanding the formation, process and effects of the Constitution.
need for high school grad
To help my son understand the US Constitution.
to teach my daughter about the U.S. Constitution
I am teaching a Constitution for Middle Schoolers class at co-op this fall.
