For too many students, history was then and this is now. In the “Bill of Rights,” students examine the origins of each of the 10 amendments, but they also give real-life accounts of how those rights play a role in American lives today. The handouts, discussion suggestions, and primary source materials in this book give students the opportunity to discover the impact the Bill of Rights has on their own lives while interpreting political cartoons, analyzing court decisions, and reading current legislation.
