9/18-9/25/13

Today Dr. Porkchop made us work like mad. We had to narrow our original five choice down to three and then ONE!!

Students then had to create an outline showing their evidence for why they picked this one particular amendment.

Step 4:  Dr. Porkchop has now decided to allow Americans to retain only ONE fundamental right. You must use all of your knowledge to convince him to keep your top choice. You will need to write a five paragraph essay in which you argue for your top right. Each body paragraph will contain one piece of evidence to support your choice. Your conclusion should acknowledge that there were other amendments you could have chosen. What you write below will help you start your rough draft!!
Right
Amendment #
1.



Introduction: (Write your HOOK sentence! Remember you want to convince Dr. Porkchop to let us keep this one right).
