The teacher will record the choices on the chalk board. After all groups have presented, analyze the ones chosen and see if there is a consensus in favor of any particular amendment. If there are any which no one, or only one group, voted for, assume that these amendments can be eliminated. Students should return to their groups to discuss the remaining amendments to be chosen. Otherwise, the students as a class could vote which remaining amendments would be added to the list of the top five.
Students develop a personal and a group list of amendment preferences.
Students identify and explain the first ten amendments and the rights of the individual. Students write ideas about the positive symbolism of the colors green and yellow for the new flag. Students participate in class discussions and answer questions. If the students have not had an explanation of the first ten amendments, it must be given before participation in this constitutional rights activity. This will increase the lesson time an additional twenty minutes.
