We’ve started this project. We began with a trip to the National Constitution Center. I really like the photo below but it also inspired a plan for next week: as we begin reading the Constitution, I’ll have them generate topics based on each of the clauses in the preamble. I’d like to make my short film about this notion of “promote the general welfare” because that term resonates so differently and because it would allow me to wax philosophical about how and why a government should ensure that all people have access to a good life.
