Constitution foldable (or book)

You are creating a foldable or book with elements of the Constitution. Your job is to summarize the Articles and the first 10 Amendments.

You must include:
1. Articles 1-7
2. The Bill of Rights (the first 10 Amendments)

If you are really inspired and want some extra credit, you can do all 27 Amendments.

Work smart, not hard--summarize the Article or Amendment.
Be colorful and neat.
Make sure everyone can enjoy your bullets and summaries--imagine you are creating your foldable to read to a class of 4th graders learning about the Constitution---keep it simple and effective.

You will later include these in your notebooks for use on the midterm exam, so the better your project, the more it will help later on!

F Week: Tuesday

We completed the Constitutional Scavenger Hunt. We will start a project, involving creating a foldable of the US Constitution that will eventually become part of your notebook.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, I will be away at a conference and you will do Section 3 of the Constitution Chapter in your notebook (questions/vocab) and continue to work on your foldables, which will be due Friday.

We will choose names to see who gets which Amendment for our Amendment Project!
