  1. Opening Act • Sit with your faction, and take out the following items from your binder 1)Name tag, 2)Faction Profile & Goals, 3) Student Guide, (your scoresheet can stay in your binder, you won’t need it today) • In addition, from your faction folder give each member of your faction a copy of both 1) Amendments Handout & 2) The Rules of Procedure Handout • These will be used today to write amendments

  2. Agenda • Record & discuss possible essay prompts • Answering these at the end of the unit will be your individual assessment • Begin discussing & writing possible amendments • Your goal today is to choose one and get it written down, then for HW you can find some info to back it up • WRITE THIS DOWN!!! ON WEDNESDAY 3/13 BLOCKS 4 & 5 MEET IN ROOM 403. BE ON TIME • HW-DUE NEXT CLASS: Amendment(s) with justification & info. (all of this can be recorded on the amendment handout(s) you will receive later

  3. Essay Prompts to be answered at the end of the unit. Write all of these down now, but do not answer them yet • How easy is it to amend the Constitution today? • How do you account for the great endurance of the Constitution? • What is meant by “strict” and “broad” interpretations of the Constitutions? • Discuss which 3 of the 35 proposed amendments you would least like to see added to our Constitution. • Discuss which 3 of the 35 proposed amendments you would least like to see added to our Constitution.

  4. Convention Rules • Every member of this convention will be required to write and submit at least one amendment. Multiple submissions can only help. • Each amendment must satisfy either a state goal or one f your faction goals • You will receive a form to write and justify your amendment • Remember, you are playing the role of someone who believes in the factions goals • While choosing and writing amendments, it is a good idea to discuss them with your faction, and other factions to see if you can find enough support for them • We will begin writing today, and continue for HW

  5. Amendment Justification Handoutfollow these instructions- X out the ones on the handout • Record the number of your amendment & give it a title on the line “Amendment Title and Name” • Record the exact part of the U.S. Constitution your amendment will change if passed in the blank labeled “Constitutional Source” • The other portions at the top of the handout are self explanatory-fill them out too. • On the rest of the handout you need to summarize the amendment in your own words. You are permitted to make small changes to these amendments-but nothing that would change it completely-Ask me before you make any changes. Then you must; • Justify your amendment with your own reasoning (as a member of your faction), then back it up with at least one piece of “research”. • Research can be from the textbook, web, or periodical. • List the source and summarize how it supports your amendment • Everyone will write at least ONE amendment, but you can do more if you want. • Completing this by Wednesday is a 10 point HW Assignment

  6. White Paper Corrections • Everyone will have the chance to improve their grade, but it is optional • Look over your paper and the rubric. If you want to do the corrections, follow these steps • You need to redo the part(s) that you lost points on. Use your materials & textbook, fix these parts, and I will grade the corrections. • Your new grade will be an average of the old and new for the section(s) you fixed. • When you finish your corrections, I will need the following items turned in: • New rubric (from SharePoint), corrections, old rubric, old paper, preliminary recommendations. • Corrections must be turned in no later than Friday March 30th (this gives you plenty of time to fit them into your schedule.)
