Constitution in Current Events and Issues
Use the links provided on this page to research current events in the United States
Some of the major issues we hear about on the news or read in the newspaper are all directly related to the Constitution. Can you find the connection? Groups will pick one current event to create a report on.
This report must contain a few key pieces:
- Both side of the current events debate
- The Constitutional connection
- Potential Solutions
You may present your topic in whichever way your group decides. This can be through a skit performed for the class, a presentation using Prezi, or a brief debate to show both sides to the class.
Any way that you choose to present should be between 5-7 minutes.
***Every member of your group must participate***
