New Lesson: Constitution Analysis: Disabled Founding Fathers and Their Influence on the New Nation

Sep 17

America turns 250 this year, and National Constitution Day/Week is the perfect moment to ask: whose stories are missing from the history we teach?

DEE's newest lesson invites students to take a closer look at the founding documents and the people behind them.

This lesson explores questions like:

How did different writers shape the founding of the United States?
What are the similarities and differences between founding-era texts?
Why is disability so often left out of someone's legacy, and what changes when we include it?

Free for grades 7-12. Access the lesson here:

After you use it, fill out the short evaluation at the end. We want to hear how it went.

Our nation's history belongs to all of us. Let's teach it that way.
