Abstract

THE U.S. CONSTITUTION: O UR G UARANTEE TO LIBERTY and its companion, THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS: WHAT THEY MEAN TO YOU, are interactive tutorial programs intended for use in grades 8-12. The programs give the main points of each of the seven articles and 26 amendments of the Constitution. Summaries and lists of key provisions are presented for study before a drill-and-practice activity is done. Branching for needed remediation is included. Regrettably, this portion of the software is just a textbook and workbook on disk, without the more extensive explanation and analysis which the printed page can give.
