Bill of Rights Amendment Project: U.S. Government

-The goal for this project is for you to work in a group and
explain one amendment of the Bill of Rights to the class
by using a brief rap / song / poem / video / skit, etc.
-Your lyrics / setting are up to you as long as they are
school-appropriate.
-The presentations should be approximately 2-5 minutes in
length.
-Focus on explaining what the amendment means in a reallife situation to the class through your presentation.
-You may show the class a video of your presentation or
you may choose to verbally do the presentation in front of
the class (either method is fine).
-You must do this yourself; you cannot use other Bill of
Rights videos that are online and show them to the class.
-You will be rewarded for the accuracy of your
explanation of the amendment and the creativity /
enthusiasm of your presentation:
