Bill of Rights

Great work so far with your blogs they are really coming along.  Remember you should now have two posts created and posted to your blog.  The first post was on snow days and the second was a response to the article on how you think blogs can help you.  You are now learning the U.S. constitution in preparation to meet all the requirements for graduation.  Are the Bill of Rights outdated?  This is the question that will drive our class for the next few sessions.  We only physically meet once a week so our blogs will serve as our best means of communication.  Attached our two resources that will help you learn about the Bill of Rights.    Bill of Rights Video   and Bill of Rights text.  These resources will help you learn about the Bill of Rights and help you think critically about our question.  If you could remove one law from the Bill of Rights and enter a new law would you?  You must be able to explain the new law and its importance.  You will then explain which law you removed and why.  You must find two credible sources that support your argument.  We will be working on this for the next five class sessions.  I cannot wait to hear your ideas.  

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Blogging...

     Welcome!  If you are reading this then you successfully created your blog and are ready to begin!  I want your first post to discuss your point of view on snow days: “Would you rather not have school on snow days and make them up in June or would you rather we have school and not lose class time?”  State your argument and explain your point of view in two paragraphs or less.  You must also follow at least 5 of your classmates and respond to their post on snow days.  I cannot wait to read your blogs!!!
