Teaching guide, sample answers and curriculum references

Before you begin

Distinguish a constitutional rule from an ordinary law and identify a stated right.

How to use this worksheet

  1. Model the target skill: identify the Bill of Rights as the first ten amendments added to the US Constitution in 1791. Use the first task as a guided example before asking for an independent response.
  2. Check readiness first: Distinguish a constitutional rule from an ordinary law and identify a stated right.
  3. Discuss an incorrect response using this distinction: A short amendment summary is not the full legal rule; context matters when applying a right to a scenario.
