You just heard on the news that the Federal Government is considering abolishing the original Bill of Rights, Amendments 1 - 10. Explain WHY you think this is a good/bad idea. You are encouraged to cite reasons both pro and con on this issue, not make an absolute choice on way or the other.
You may also CHOOSE to make other suggestions to revise the Bill of Rights instead of just tossing it out and starting over.
Continue to review and study the first ten amendments, and how they are organized into four sections (see today's notes).
7th grade needs to bring in the rough draft to Thursday's study skills class to check for excellent paragraph structure. 8th graders, please, use your best paragraph structure (as always).
HAPPY 2009!
