The Bill of Rights Unit (and a Little About Amendments 11-27)
Social Studies, Government, Grade 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools
The purpose of this 49-page mini-unit is for students in grades 6-12 to develop a clear understanding of what their rights are under the Constitution, particularly our rights under the Bill of Rights. Increasingly, Americans, especially students, are not able to name many of the rights we are entitled to in the Bill of Rights. They are well aware of Amendment 2 and parts of Amendment 1, and the “I plead the fifth” clause of Amendment 5, but they are woefully uninformed of the other rights that protect us. This mini-unit is designed to give students not only a complete understanding of these rights but opportunities to put their knowledge into practice through the various worksheets and a culminating project at the end of the unit, which is available separately in my store,, “A Great Good Place for Teachers,” called The Bill of Rights: A Project to Assess Knowledge and Understanding. The ultimate goal is for them to have a healthy and complete understanding of why these basic rights are so necessary for our democracy. This mini-unit is part of my unit: “Our Living Consitution” which is designed using the Into, Through, and Beyond model of lesson planning. The lessons in the Our Living Constitution unit can be used independently or as a supplement to what you already teach or as a whole. Here is a summary of what is in the unit.

The low-prep, 27-page resource, Argumentative Letter on a Candidate or Mandatory Voting has your middle and high school students take a position on either which presidential candidate to support or whether voting should be mandatory in the United States, write a 4-paragraph argumentative letter to the editor, and then send them off to online sites that accept letters to the editors, such as local, state, or national news sites. I have included links to four online articles that address the pros and cons of making voting mandatory in the United States that the students can use for their research.

Embedded in this lesson are a brainstorming activity for evidence and analysis, a template for writing the essay, a graphic organizer all of which provide scaffolded support to your diverse range of writers, and a rubric.
