GOVERNMENT/WRITING
A copy of a new "Bill of Rights" written by F.D.R. was sent home.
Students should chose one of the "rights" and write a 50 word paragraph that argues why it should be added to our Constitution. Then Students should chose one of the 1st Ten Amendments (except the 1st, which we discussed and studied in class with civil rights lawyer, Simone Liebman ) and write a 50 word paragraph about why they think this right is important.
READING: 30 minutes of independent reading
some links from Simone and others follow. Thanks so much!
