This document, a teacher's manual, was published as part of the state of Massachusetts' observance of the bicentennial of the United States Constitution. The manual accompanies a videotape on the topic. Together, the materials can help educators identify the people, places, and pictures that they can use to underscore the significance of the Bill of Rights. While middle and high school teachers are the primary focus of the manual, it also offers activities and resources for use in elementary instruction. Materials are adaptable for various age levels and are reproducible. The manual includes an introduction, a Bill of Rights timeline, a brief guide to four major issues that the videotape highlights, a set of nine learning activities, and listings of resource materials and organizations. An appendix presents the Bill of Rights and 16 other constitutional amendments. Contains 22 references. (SG)
