Social Studies Lesson 2

Our third and final social studies lesson was conducted by having the students gain “new freedoms”. This lasted for 5 to 10 minutes and some students received better freedom’s than their peers, making it unfair for some. This experience allowed the students relate to the reasons why the bill of rights were written to give the us people fair and protected rights. This led to the discussion of the 10 amendments, where we played a video that took Taylor Swift’s Shake it Off song and turned it into a Bill of Rights Parody. The students could either draw or write the 10 amendments in a way that they could remember. We ended the lesson by having the students write a letter to the Forefathers, thanking them for the rights they created.
