Create a 12 -slide PowerPoint presentation (not including title and reference slide) to educate a group of students or adults about the core tenets listed above for an upcoming Constitution Day celebration in a school setting. You may select a grade level 1-12, teachers, or parents as your audience. Please specify your intended audience and include other pertinent information within the speaker notes. Your presentation should be engaging and appropriate for your chosen audience. Include speaker notes below each content-related slide that represent what would be said if giving the presentation in person.

In addition to your PowerPoint, include a 300-word essay describing two interactive learning activities for your intended audience to coincide with your presentation.
