Then, you will choose your own issue in the Bill of Rights to address.  Using Xtranormal, You will create a conversation between two characters that illustrates a particular right.  You must include the following in your Xtranormal video:

• The actual wording of the amendment and a character's interpretation of what that means.
• References to at least three court cases that strengthen or limit the rights outlined in the Constitution.
• For help, refer to The Bill of Rights Institute and Find Law.
• At least ten character actions/gestures.
• A clear beginning, middle, and end in which we all have a better understanding of the issue at play.

Please note:  Xtranormal is FREE, but requires you to create a login and limits your use of certain characters, etc.  Please watch as Ms. Kappelman walks you through the process.
