BILL OF RIGHTS BROCHURE DUE 10/6-7
Choose a specific civil liberty or right found in the Bill of Rights that is of interest to you. Be sure you can find ample information on the civil liberty/right and corresponding amendment you choose. Decide whether you are promoting the liberty/right or preferring its removal. Search the internet/textbook for information regarding your choice. Be sure to read articles, editorials, and court cases to gain a clear overview. Include information that will persuade the reader to agree with your point of view.

BILL OF RIGHTS BROCHURE continued
Design and create your brochure using the following parameters: COVER: Clearly state your civil liberty/right and corresponding amendment. Use a graphic design that is eye-catching and entices the reader to look inside. Include your name, period, and date. OTHER PANELS: One panel is to be used to explain the history of the civil liberty/right and why the specific liberty/right was included. One panel is to be used to persuade your reader to either promote your civil liberty/right or call for its removal from the Constitution. One panel is to be used to state your opinion about the specific civil liberty/right (interpretations, aspects which should/not be protected or are abused, etc.) What are the responsibilities attached to this civil liberty/right? One panel is to be used to describe our country if this civil liberty/right did not exist. One panel is for you to choose from the following: related landmark cases, comparative laws/protections, or global comparisons.

BILL OF RIGHTS BROCHURE continued
Please note: All written information must be typed—no handwritten material. Your brochure is to look realistic, professional and include appropriate citations for source material. These are the basic parameters. You are encouraged to be as creative as possible through the use of the internet, clip art or other resources to depict the essence of your selected civil liberty/right.

Alien Invasion Aliens have invaded the United States and have gained control over ALL communications and have complete control over your lives. They DO NOT want a war but want to control your lives. They have looked over our system of government and are allowing you to choose 5 rights from the following rights taken directly from the Constitution. You and your group MUST come to a UNANIMOUS decision on your 5 rights. Make sure you rank them in order of importance!

Discussion Questions:
Was it difficult to reach a unanimous decision? Which rights were the easiest for you to give up? Why? How would our society be different if we were limited to the five rights you choose? What important or surprising things did you learn about the Bill of Rights or Constitution during this process?
