Best of all, they had to use critical thinking skills while debating one another over the summit's chosen global dilemmas. This activity and handout includes the following: 1.

The Amendment Project: Directions and Rubric
This is a quick project that can be completed during a unit on the Constitution. I limited the options to 11-27 as most students would select the First Amendment as being the most important.
