Preambles Reflection Why do countries have different goals? How might their locations, demographic populations, histories, and other factors influence which goals are best? How would you recognize the best goals for the people of any country? How would you avoid the corrupting influence of power?

Create a (Really Awesome) Country

Make sure you do this: Name country Decide basics (gov’t, etc) SPLIT UP THE WORK AND THE DECISIONS!! One goal (article) for each person 3 ways to achieve goal (sections) for each person’s article Split up other work (DECIDE WHO’S GOING TO DO IT): Flag Preamble Anthem Bling (make us happy to hear about your country!) General organization

The basics: Your presentation must include: Your flag Your anthem A brief description of your country, what it is like, where it is along with images Your Constitution You will summarize!

In detail… Flag: Show the flag while describing the meaning behind the design and how it pertains to your country. Anthem: You must perform this as a group- you may show the lyrics while you sing it, or simply show an image. You must describe your country to the class. This includes the name, meaning behind the name, location and all important statistics, along with the year your country was founded. You should have at least two images that go with your country- this is to give us a visual.

More details When you show the Constitution you should read the PREAMBLE aloud and then summarize your articles. DO NOT READ THEM. Entertain us! Instead of reading the articles and sections you should explain a summary of what each article says and why you decided that this was a crucial goal perfect for your country.

The fun stuff You may do a ppt You may make a video You may do any sort of electronic presentation Approx 3-4 min presentation You must practice You must speak to the audience and NOT READ the slides You must all do an equal amount. You must keep us engaged You may add extras
