"In honor of Constitution Day, all educational institutions receiving federal funding are required to hold an educational program pertaining to the U.S. Constitution; this year we are asking all schools around the country to join in a National reading of the Preamble called The Preamble Challenge!" From the Constitution Center website.

This lesson is available at the Constitution Center's web site. Look under Lesson Plans for the Preamble Challenge.
