Earth Has Been Invaded!
A WebQuest

Scenario:
Earth has Been Invaded

Watch the video to see the scenario you are working under for your WebQuest.

Aliens have taken over planet earth! They have decided to allow citizens of the United States keep one of the Amendments of the U.S. constitution and throw out the rest. You will create a law firm in iCivics' "Do I Have a Right" game. Study the Bill of Rights and other Constitutional Amendments. Then you will choose the one that you feel will benefit the human race the most. Create a video response in Photo Booth posing as the lawyer from your firm who specializes in that right. In the second half of the WebQuest you will act as the Alien Invaders and design new money the humans will use under your leadership.

Before You Begin...
