Creating a Student Bill Of Rights
The first 10 amendments to the United States Constitution detail the rights of the people and the states in the United States. You have freedom of speech, freedom of religion and the right to a jury of your peers because it is stated in the Bill of Rights.
Use the amendments as a model to create a Student Bill of Rights. Write 10 laws that you would like to see passed to protect the rights of students at Quaboag Regional Middle High School. Underneath each law explain why it is necessary for the good of students and the school.
When your group has completed its Bill of Rights you must write a short essay -- your own "Federalist Paper" -- to persuade other students to ratify your Bill of Rights. Remember, the Federalist Papers were used to persuade the residents of New York to vote for the ratification of the Constitution.
All of your work will be completed on the following pages of this packet. I have listed below a simplified version of the Bill of Rights for you to refer to. Furthermore, you can look to your student handbook for ideas.
