2. Student Page Title Introduction Task Process Sites Evaluation Conclusion Credits [ Teacher Page ] In our country the term "right" is a powerful thing. If something is a right, then it is the whole purpose of our country--of any decent country--to protect it. In that case, the definition of rights matters very much. To help us understand the foundation of our rights, we should consider what is said in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The protections outlined in the Bill of Rights are specific or "positive" rights because they are made by a positive act of human beings. We recognize these rights because we perceive them necessary to the preservation of our natural rights.

11. [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page This Webquest was designed for a 12 th grade government class. The main focus of this activity is to enrich the students understanding of the Bill of Rights and help them make connection to everyday life. This webquest was designed to deepen the students understanding; therefore, it should be used in addiction to a unit of the Constitution, not as an alternative. Students will acquire and strengthen many skills because of this project. This webqwest requires that the students work in cooperative groups, summarize and synthesize information, self-guided research, creative problem solving, critical thinking, and argument composition, This webqwest can be modified, but because it requires self motivation, and self guidance it is not recommended for younger learners. This lesson should be taught in conjunction with the Constitution as a whole. Students should have a base understanding of what the Constitution is, how it came about, and what the main elements of the Constitution are. Students should also be aware of the happenings of the Constitutional Convention and the ratification process, during which a Bill of Rights was promised. Students should understand the background of the framers and their experience with British law in the pre-Revolution American colonies that inspired these 1st 10 amendments Describe the grade level and course that the lesson is designed to cover. For example: "This lesson is anchored in seventh grade language arts and involves social studies and math to a lesser extent." If the lesson can easily be extended to additional grades and subjects, mention that briefly here as well. Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion
