 Starter #35
  • What are the three components of the rhetorical triangle and what must be true for a message to be effective?
  • Have Dec. of Ind. packet out for me to check completion

Class Biz
  • Honors lunch meeting on Thursday
  • Assignments for the week and deadlines (Test Corrections are due E.O.C on Tuesday)
  • Test Correction office hours today, 7th period (please get a pass from ME if you plan on attending and check-in with your exploratory teacher first)
  • Chem Lab/Link Workshop on Friday

Today's Goals: Understand what the Bill of Rights is and what freedoms Amendments #1-10 protect

Essential Questions (related to our overall project)
  • Where do we see the ideals of security, liberty and equality appear in our nation's founding documents?
  • How do we balance these ideals when coming up with just policies for controversial political and social issues?

Agenda
1.Discuss Declaration Packet: What are the ideologies upon which our country is founded?

​
2. Turn in Dec. Packet

3.  Google classroom time: (30 minutes)
  • Respond to 2 more peers (in-depth so I know you’ve actually read their article!!)
  • Post a new article, summary and reaction to a DIFFERENT issue not yet posted
 
4. List of grievances (complaints) to the King of England in the Dec. of Ind + Preamble to the Bill of Rights
You'll be given the full text of the Bill of Rights, which includes the preamble of the Constitution plus the first 10 amendments to the Constitution.

Annotation Exercise – Using only the preamble, annotate with an eye to answering the following questions.
  • Which words represent "security"?
  • Which words represent "liberty"?
  • Which words represent "equality"?

5. Now, lets get started looking at the Bill of Rights:
A. With the Bill of Rights, Full Text: With a partner, read the Bill of Rights and try to 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.  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!
