2. What Quotes did you find for Part 5
What Quotes did you find for Part 5? All citizens have the right to equal treatment under the law. A person is innocent until proven guilty. Accusers need to have proof a law has been broken before they make an accusation. Any law that seems unreasonable or very unfair can be set aside.

Key Rights Definition
Right to be innocent until proven guilty
Right to Habeus Corpus (evidence of wrongdoing before accusation)
People are assumed innocent until they are proven guilty, not guilty until proven innocent
Habeus Corpus means “to have the body” and it means you have to have evidence a crime has occurred before you can accuse someone of breaking the law (ie: You have to have a dead body before you accuse someone of murder.)

4. Please add these to Reading Strategies Pg. 15A
Break Down- Break a compound word down into its component parts to see if you can read them to find out what the word means. This works well for prefixes and suffixes too. Numbering Lists- When a text gives a long list of information all related to the same idea, number the items in a list so you know they all go together, but are also parts of a whole. Read Out Loud- Sometimes you just need to hear how a sentence sounds to make sense of it. Try reading a difficult passage out loud so you see it AND hear it.
