This Annenberg Classroom site starts with a well-informed curriculum about the American Constitution and its amendments, and then links those topics to daily civics news, student discussions, and a host of other interactive, ever-developing current events-based education. On the site, readers may like to start with the Knowledge section, which is divided into The Constitution, The Congress, The Presidency, The Courts, and State & Local. Within each category, subcategories fill out the picture. For instance, under the Constitution tab, readers will find a 25-minute documentary about the Supreme Court decision Miranda v. Arizona, which first required police officers to read suspects their Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights. In addition, the Speak Out section features articles that articulate public policy debates, and then invites students to Join the Discussion.
