ID Lesson Plan on the Bill of Rights. Students will learn about the protections and rights that are found in the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution. They will create a Prezi Presentation that explains each amendment and creates a story that shows how that amendment protects our rights.
Example: Fifth Amendment: Due Process - Double Jeopardy.
Explanation: a procedural defence that forbids a defendant from being tried again on the same charges following a legitimate acquittal or conviction.
Story: Robert is accussed of stealing a car but when he goes to trial, he found not guilty of grand theft auto. A day later, a video surfaces that shows that Robert actually did steal the car. As a result of Double Jeopardy found in fifth amendment, Robert cannot be charged again for that same crime.
