AGE-APPROPRIATE FOR TEENS & ADULTS

Clean • Uncluttered • Mature • Engaging

This age-appropriate, clean, and uncluttered resource gives grades 8–12 and older students meaningful vocabulary and civics practice without an elementary look or tone.

Help students do more than recite the Preamble—help them understand what its powerful verbs actually mean.

The Preamble Power Verbs mini-lesson combines vocabulary, close reading, civics, and creative expression. Students explore the seven meaning-bearing verbs of the Preamble—form, establish, insure, provide, promote, secure, and ordain—and connect those verbs to the purposes expressed in the Constitution.

The mature visual style and clear vocabulary support also make the packet appropriate for adult education and citizenship classes, where learners benefit from scaffolding without being talked down to.

Visual vocabulary cues for the seven Power Verbs
Matching and modern-meaning practice
Open-ended comprehension and close-reading questions
