Your task today is to learn more about the amendments to the Constitution. Just as when we studied the original Constitution, I want you to demonstrate your understanding of the amendments. Today, I am going to take away your power of words. For each of the amendments that you work with, you can only use emoji to explain them. For each member of your team, please post emoji that represent four of the amendments to the Constitution. Please post your ideas to the Amendments and Emojii question on Google Classroom when you are done. Do NOT post which amendment you are describing. |
