Happy Constitution Day! Trentonian kicks off series for kids

The Trentonian kicks off a series of special pages for children with today’s paper in connection with Constitution Day, a federally mandated day of study of the U.S. Constitution in the nation’s schools.
The serialized story “Thomas Paine: An American Patriot,” is based on the manuscript of a book originally written for the New Jersey Newspaper Foundation.
Each Monday for eight weeks, a full page will be devoted to a new installment of the series.
Join us for a look at the creation of one of this country’s most famous documents, “Common Sense,” written by Paine, a journalist, writer and revolutionary.
Learn how his writing influenced the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
The story takes you into his life with the New Jersey and Pennsylvania connections that brought him immortality.
Each installment of the story will include questions and essay assignments that can be used in the classroom.
The series starts with a full page installment on page 13 today.
Next week, the story will include Thomas Paine’s connections to Pennsylvania’s most famous resident, Benjamin Franklin.
