Amendment Illustrations
There are 27 amendments, or changes, in the U.S. Constitution. You
will paraphrase (put into your own words) and illustrate the first 10
amendments, called the Bill of Rights. You will place two on each
page of your project (see example below). Each page must have:
1) Number of amendment
2) Paraphrase (your own words) of amendment
3) Picture of amendment’s meaning
You may use images from newspapers, magazines, clip art, or your own
original art. The example below shows one part of the First
Amendment. Obviously you need to choose one of the other rights
guaranteed by the Constitution for the First Amendment… Have fun!
