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. This encourages them to explore the lesser known half of the Constitution and form opinions. This project often facilitates great class discussion regarding human rights.I recommend providing students with this article to aid them in their selection: https://newsela.com/read/primary-source-amendment-constitu
