Pamphlet of Protection

This is the SITUATION...It's the year 2056 and the world has been invaded by aliens.  It was a tough battle, but we were the victors.  Unfortunately, we suffered many losses one being the destruction of our Constitution including our precious BILL OF RIGHTS. It is left to us to rebuild our nation starting with this document. We managed to snap some photos of our citizens working on the new Bill of Rights, renamed the "Pamphlet of Protection."

Carson, Brooklyn, Donnell, Erika, and Pierce discussing which rights are important for the new nation.

 

Reaching a consensus is not always easy.  Here's Connor, Sarah Reilly, Keira, Kaleb, and Hannah making important decisions for their future.

 

Jayden trying his best to convince his team that it is okay to "enslave citizens" if those citizens are criminals and you are having them work for the community.

 

Emily making a point trying to convince her group to include a certain right.

At the conclusion of our simulation, we reached consensus on 10 necessary "rights" that were 80% in agreement with the original amendments in our Bill of Rights! This was quite interesting considering our class was not familiar with the original amendments before doing this activity.
