Testimonial
"This program was excellent. It dovetails with the fifth grade curriculum perfectly." Nicolette G. Israel Putnam School.
"I learned that the Constitution is a piece of paper for thirteen colonies to use as a new country. The paper had rules that would make things fair. Instead of one king, they formed three branches of government, executive, legislative and judicial." 5th Grader Mrs.Cicilline's class. JJIS, Colchester.

Description
Celebrate the Constitution by exploring the "law of the land". Understand its origins, why it was created, and what it means to us today. Carol breaks down complexities for all ages. Students sing a journey song documenting our separation from England, the Declaration of Independence, the American Revolution, and the Constitution to our new country. Carol illuminates the Preamble, singing both actual and modified words clarifying our forefather’s dreams. Using a tripod and trees, she investigates the balance of power while singing the Three Branches of Government. Jammed with audience participation, props, and costumes this show brings history to life.

Technical Specifications
Live: Minimum of 10 x 15 feet so students can join me on stage. Having one available does help sometimes when I ask students to speak in the performance.
Virtually: Equipment for students to see the assembly online. If I am following up with a workshop activity, individual space for students to be able to move in a hula-hoop-sized space each would help.
