This lesson combines literature and history to teach students about Memorial Day and honoring the country's fallen heroes.
This installment of the National Constitution Center’s Civics in Literature initiative features suggested books and activities for teaching Memorial Day in the classroom and the importance of honoring our nation’s fallen heroes.
Civics in Literature is designed to meet the common core standards for students from kindergarten through fourth grade. These materials strengthen foundational skills of reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Civics in Literature allows younger students to access complex topics and issues by meeting them at their level and guiding them to a higher level of understanding.
