Today’s Assignment
In the previous lesson, you learned about the creation of the new U.S. Constitution. In this lesson you will learn about the Bill of Rights that were added to protect the rights of individual citizens. Thanks to the Bill of Rights citizens are protected by these 10 laws! These rights are enumerated in the first 10 amendments to the Constitution. Having the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights came with a cost due to war in order to have the United States of America. Would you fight for your Bill of Rights?
You will READ eleven short excerpts and demonstrate comprehension by answering a multiple-choice question. There is a total of 11 short reading passages with one multiple choice question for each passage. This portion of the assignment will take approximately 55 minutes (5 minutes for most passages and questions – at least 4 passages are only 1 paragraph of reading) to complete.
