Students often can/will recite the basics of SOME of the Bill of Rights but often do not know how they apply to their personal life. They believe that it was written years ago and does not have any relevant meaning to the HERE and NOW. With this interactive activity, my US History and Government classes dived into the Bill of Rights and learned how to apply each of the Amendments to their personal life. This brought about outstanding debates in class (and online) about civil rights and liberties.

This was created as a PDF document to use in the classroom. There is also a Digital Learning Format where it can be assigned to students to complete in a virtual setting such as Google Classroom, Canvas, etc.

I hope your students enjoy this as much as mine did!

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, after the American Civil War, the United States experienced a time of enormous industrial and urban growth. This growth gave Americans many opportunities but also led to overcrowding, poor working conditions, and inequalities. Progressives in the late 1800s and early 1900s fought to combat these challenges.
