Living News Classroom Teaching Materials

Living News is a unique, live theatrical performance at the National Constitution Center. The production is designed to introduce controversial constitutional issues and encourage students to ask questions about where they stand on these issues.

Prior to visiting the Center, students are asked to examine news stories and how they connect directly to the Constitution as well as how they tell a story. During the production, students will be asked to consider their point of view on a number of issues ranging from free speech to search and seizure. Back in the classroom, students will reflect on the experience and seek answers to where they see themselves fitting into our constitutional system.
