5th Grade Writing Prompt
Writing Situation: The first 10 amendments to the
Constitution are known as the Bill of Rights. These
amendments guarantee “the people” certain
freedoms by placing specific limits on our
government.
The first Amendment to our Constitution reads:
*Protects freedom of religion
*Protects freedom of speech
*Protects freedom of the press
*Gives the right to assemble peacefully
*Gives the right to voice complaints to the
government
Writing Directions: Choose one of the protections or
rights above and write a blog to explain why “this”
protection or right is of importance to you, your
family, your community, or your school.
Congratulations to Elainah McDougal in Mrs.
Koppel’s 5th grade class!
I feel freedom of speech is important because we
should be allowed to speak freely. Freedom of
speech allows us to voice our opinions and allows us
to stand up for ourselves, if necessary. It also gives
us the liberty to be ourselves. I would not want to
live anywhere where freedom of speech is not
allowed. Is it important to you too?
Congratulations to Merceylees Watson in Mrs.
Koppel’s 5th grade class!
I choose freedom to assemble peacefully, because
we should be able to express our feelings as long as
we do it in peace. Another reason is, it answers the
need to come together, share common beliefs and
to act upon those beliefs. It’s important because
we have the freedom to stand up for what we
believe. If you can’t freely associate with others,
then you can’t form a group that has political
power. Those groups are the cornerstone of what
makes up an open and Democratic society.
