Bill of Rights Collage
Part 1: Collage
Choose one of the amendments protected by the Bill of Rights (pg. 244-245) then gather
pictures and other images that illustrate that amendment. Display them in a collage form on an
9x12 piece of construction paper. On your collage, you should also include a title, the
amendment number, the text directly from the constitution, and the amendment written in your
own words. (Hint: if you choose an amendment with multiple rights that are protected, choose
ONE right to focus on. For example, if you choose the first amendment, choose ONLY
freedom of speech.)
Part 2: Writing
1. News Article: Find a news article that relates to the amendment you chose – must be
published within the last year.
