ACMS teachers provided imaginative material for Constitution Day Ideas ranged from Q&A's on Preamble, to reviewing a play on th Constitution to Reviewing the Bill of Rights Adair County Middle School teachers were sent a letter from Principal Donald McKinney, which stated, "Mr. Treece has asked us to let him know what you are doing in relation to Constitution Day. Please e-mail me with your activities." Here's what some of the responses the teachers sent to the principal on their plans for for Constitution Day: Margaret Taylor: My class will be reading a play about the Constitution and taking a quiz about it. Gary Curry: We will do a review on the Constitution and we have downloaded a 21 minute video on the Constitution. This video has core material. Stephen Beck: Mrs. Burton and I are collaborating on an activity that requires the students to create a budget and allocate funds for a presidential campaign. They will be provided with a list of prices for different types of media (i.e. TV commercials, web site, billboards, posters, etc.). The students will have to decide how they want to apportion a given amount of money. The students will also be asked to write short TV commercials for their presidential candidate. (Mr.Beck credits a webs site for the idea). Jamie McQueary I have chosen a worksheet for my kids to do in "SRA Reading - 1st Period": Freedom of Speech. It explains that one of the freedoms provided in the U.S. Constitution is the "Freedom of Speech," which allows the right to have an opinion of your own. They are to write an opinion paper about this freedom - why they think it is important? Also, I have printed "The CONSTITUTION FOR KIDS" and plan to read it to them. Carla Kirkand: Although tomorrow is a regional GT meeting, I am "behind enough" that I am foregoing that meeting this month. Hence, I will be at ACMS part of the day tomorrow and will. . . mingle throughout places such as the lunchroom, etc., with trivia and information regarding our wonderful Constitution and Constitution and Constitutional Law. Denise Grant: Mrs. Reddick has begun explaining to the students how to begin conducting their independent experiments which will culminate in a poster project explaining their results. I am then in turn using this info to teach the kids how to assimilate this into a formal laboratory report which will be their content area portfolio piece. Because she is allowing them to decide what type of products they are going to test, I will talk about the freedom of choice issue laid out in the constitution and that because of this document, they are able to conduct an experiment on something that interests them. Marsha Reddick: Our theme has been the right to choose - we are doing experiments - comparing brands. Teresa Absher: The Bill of Rights and Skunk math game on probability and decision making. Jennifer Kemp: For Constitution Day, I will be reviewing the Bill of Rights and a game of skunk on decision making and probability. Jan Woody: We are doing a writing piece on making three amendments to our school rules. these changes must be for the good of the student body and must justify his/her position. Mark Rooks: I will be discussing art work and architecture from the time period and related to the founding fathers in America. Sandra Cook: We have discussed the Preamble and are having a question/answer session today. Jack Stump: In Arts/Humanities class we are viewing and discussing a Broadway play movie named "1776." The play concerns the members of the constitutional convention and their struggles to hammer out an agreement in the wording and creation of the Declaration of Independence. Most of the signers are characters in the play and I think it brings a feeling of realness to the people involved. Ms. Rhonda Blankenship: (Ms. Blankenship sent the questions she would present to her students on Constitution day) - If you as students could make amendments or changes to our school rules, what three changes would you make? Explain your position (why you would either make a change or add to the school rules.) You must present your position!!! (Tell how the students, teachers and all staff at ACMS would benefit from these changes.)
