6. 二 Constitution Day Reading QUICKTHINKS REFRESHER I will read the first section “Law of the Land”. Please follow along with me. When I finish, I will do a quickthink. I am going to think out loud about what I think the main idea was. As a group, decide if you will write my quickthink down or if you would rather come up with your own. If you come up with your own, share it in your group. Once everyone in the group has written down a quickthink, move on to the next section. Remember, a different person reads each paragraph. Please read the tables, as well.
