As many readers know, I’m a big proponent of having students create videos to demonstrate their understanding of a topic. I am also a huge fan of Common Craft’s work. Therefore, I absolutely love these videos created by an 8th grade social studies class in Pennsylvania. These videos, made in the Common Craft style, are an explanation of the US Constitution. I learned about these videos from Jim Gates’ TipLine blog. He asks some good questions about these videos on his blog and I encourage you to head over there and add your two cents.
The first video is embedded below.
