In this fourth six-week unit of third grade, students read about the people, the Preamble (to the Constitution), and the presidents of the United States.
 * Overview **

Building on knowledge of the notable people in the last unit, students read informational texts about the people who came to America and established a new government in the eighteenth century. They read about the lives of presidents, research a president of interest, and write a “bio-poem” (a biography in poem form). Finally, students create and perform a cumulative choral reading of the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution and memorize it for an oral recitation.
