AB: This issue provides classroom activities, information on the U.S. Constitution and the Constitutional Convention, and a summary of materials available to teachers for instruction about the U.S. Constitution. Jean Fritz's book, "Shh! We're Writing the Constitution," is an example of the books on the annotated list of suggested readings. In one of the writing activities, students actually participate in writing a constitution. This enhances student understanding of the necessity of rules, individual responsibilities, and individual freedom while concurrently improving their writing skills. Making a population map of the 13 colonies enhances student understanding of the nation's growth and is one of the several suggested map activities. Arts and crafts activities are suggested that can transform the classroom into an appropriate early-American setting for carrying out the study of the Constitution. Other activities include role playing and games. A calendar of commemorative dates is included, and the issue concludes with a list of organizations that produce materials for instruction about the U.S. Constitution. (SM)

DE: *Curriculum-Enrichment; *Picture-Books; *Visual-Literacy
DE: Class-Activities; Elementary-Secondary-Education; Media-Specialists
AB: An effective and easily overlooked resource for conducting visual literacy activities at the elementary secondary level is the picture book collection found in most elementary school libraries. In these times of inflated prices and budget reductions, K-12 librarians and teachers should not fail to make use of these materials. There are a variety of approaches to teaching visual literacy through the use of picture books. Story boards, photographs, hand games, filmmaking, and filmstrips can be used as supplementary materials for these activities. Among the authors whose works are particularly appropriate for visual literacy activities are David Macaulay, Jim Murphy, Tomie DePaola, Holling C. Holling, Jean Fritz, F. N. Monjo, and Barbara Cooney. Reading, English, and the total language arts program offer many opportunities for such activities, and projects related to the teaching of poetry can be very successful. The work of the following poets has been used effectively as the basis for visual literacy activities: Vachel Lindsay, Ernest Thayer, James Whitcomb Riley, Harry Behn, Robert Frost, William Wordsworth, Carl Sandburg, and Leo and Diane Dillon.
