Bill of Rights Assignment
For the Bill of Rights Assignment, you will choose one Amendment from the Bill of Rights. You write the assignment on a piece of copy paper with 3 sections.
1. The top section will have the title of the Amendment and you will write the Amendment as it is written in the Constitution, word for word.
2. For the middle section, you will draw or paste a picture of that DESCRIBES the Amendment. For example, if you choose the first Amendment, you might show a picture of different places of worship to show freedom of religion.
3. For the bottom section, you will write the Amendment IN YOUR OWN WORDS!
You will need all three sections to receive full credit, and it must fit on ONE page. We will be sharing these in class, so please take time to make it colorful!
A couple of resources to help with the project are:
