I found an interesting website that teaches high school students about the bill of rights called of course Bill of Rights Institute.org. For example one of the lesson plans is called Citizenship and Character: Understanding America's Civil Values. This is what is in the text book:
- Courage: The Declaration of Independence
- Respect: First Amendment; Freedom of Religion; Madison’s Memorial and Remonstrance
- Consideration: First Amendment; Freedom of Speech
- Perseverance: First Amendment; Petition and Assembly
- Industry: Fourth and Fifth Amendments
- Responsibility: Magna Carta; Fifth and Sixth Amendments
- Justice: The Bill of Rights; Virginia Declaration of Rights; Pledge of Allegiance
- Initiative: The Voting Amendments
- Moderation: Franklin’s Autobiography; Washington’s Farewell Address; Jefferson’s Dialogue
- Integrity: The United States Constitution
From what I've seen a very good institute for high school students.
