A lesson plan for teaching students about the Bill of Rights through an interactive activity. Students will discuss the meaning of each amendment, draw visual representations of them without revealing which one they have, and then identify which scroll corresponds to which amendment. The activity aims to enhance critical thinking skills and creativity. TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills) references are provided for alignment with the curriculum.
