Goals: Apply your understanding of ethos/pathos/logos to media Evaluate to what extent freedom of speech should be restricted, if at all. Starter
Announcements: The B.O.R and Dec. of Ind activities are Journals-- keep them until I collect ALL journals next week Answer these three questions after watching the video: 1. Jeremy Bentham would support the Court’s ruling that the First Amendment does not protect the individual’s right to freedom of speech because we need to protect the greater good. How does the Court’s ruling protect the greater good? 2. J.S. Mills would say the Court’s ruling was morally wrong, because protecting individual liberty actually does benefit the greater good in the long run. How does protecting FREE SPEECH benefit the greater good in the long run? 3. The court ruled in favor of the school on this issue, thus using Bentham’s line of reasoning. How does this change the way you understand our protections under the First Amendment especially in the context of schools? Agenda 1. Ethos, Pathos and Logos powerpoint slides 23-End 2.

2. Now, lets get started looking at the Bill of Rights A. With the Bill of Rights, Full Text: With a partner, put each amendment into “real” English. What does each individual amendment really mean? Can you put it all into one or two easily understandable sentences? B. With the Bill of Rights in Plain English: When you are finished with the full text exercise above, come pick up a copy of the Bill of Rights in Plain English. How did you do? Cross-reference your 'plain English' definitions with mine, and adjust yours if you need to. C. Journal #4-- With the Bill of Rights Worksheet: Now, write your “final” interpretation of each Amendment next to its number. In addition, you'll have to pick/draw an animal (or other symbol, but c'mon, get creative!) that best represents that amendment. Good luck! HOMEWORK
