Bill of Rights Scavenger Hunt

Your task, should you choose to accept it (which you should because it's a requirement) is to take part in a scavenger hunt to find the Bill of Rights in action. You will also find an example from another amendment not included in the Bill of Rights (Amendments #11-27).

To complete this task, you need to take pictures or videos around the school, town, or your home. These pictures can be of actual events or you can stage them. You will then need to put these pictures on a slide presentation. The slide show requirements are as follows:

• The slides must shuffled so that we don't have them in order, with the final slides being a photo from another amendment outside the first 10 and a follow-up slide describing that amendment.
• Be prepared to give a brief description of what we're seeing. You will also need to tell us about the other amendment you chose.

DO NOT:

• Use pictures of real guns. If you want to use a Nerf gun or something that doesn't look like a real gun, that's okay. But be more creative with the 2nd Amendment.
• Show real alcohol, simulate alcohol (grape juice, etc.), or use alcohol bottles or cans if you choose either of the amendments dealing with alcohol.
• Steal pictures or videos from the Internet. These pictures must be your own. Either you took the picture, shot the video, or created your own image using photoshop, etc.
• Use pictures or videos that the school administration would deem inappropriate for school.

Here are some examples of what you can do, but feel free to be creative with your photos.

• Take a photo with a team member and strangers who reflect at least three groups whose rights are protected by law because of their race, religion, gender or creed.
• Take a picture of something or someone that represents religious freedom or diversity. This must include someone/something that is outside your group.
• Create a tableau scene (like a silent statue) that depicts the concept of due process of law and describe how the U. S. Constitution protects a citizen’s rights by due process.
• Go to the SRO Office (he's at the high school on Mondays and Thursdays). If he is there, record him telling you the difference between felonies and misdemeanors. If he is not there, take a photo of your favorite criminal stop/arrest pose.
• Create a human chalk outline on the sidewalk of a public place. Use a video to relate this somehow to the 5th amendment.
• Record a team member delivering an impromptu speech or presentation to at least 5 attentive others.
• Take a picture with someone or something that represents a right to privacy. Don't break any rules!
• People have fought for suffrage since our country began. Find something that represents suffrage.
• Find a creative way to represent the right to be free from cruel and unusual punishments or excessive bails/fines. At least one team member must be in the image.
