This Week's Blog/Small Group Task

Howdy folks,

For this week, we are still talking about the Declaration of Independence/Bill of Rights to the Constitution. Here are the tasks for this week:

For the small group which follows the lecture:
Print up and bring with you copies of the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights to the Constitution of the USA. In preparation for the meeting, research the background to these two great founding documents of America, discover what the attitude toward them is today in the US (find evidence!) and be prepared to debate their wording and their meaning.

For the Blog:
Lead poster – locate TWO websites, one pro and one anti any of the liberties identified in the first eight amendments of the Bill of Rights. Comment on how they present their case for and against, and justify which viewpoint you agree with - for instance, the death penalty, freedom of religion, freedom of expression, freedom of the press, guns, trial by jury’ (150 -200 words)
Others – comment on the websites and state why you agree or disagree with the lead poster (100-150w)

Our lead poster this week is Christine; any questions, you know where to find me in cyberspace!

Best wishes,
Devon
