Broadening Political Participation: Constitutional Amendments

Students will begin this lesson by reviewing the Bill of Rights and discussing the need for additional amendments.  Students will then collaborate to read the 13th, 14th, 15th, 19th, 24th, and 26th amendments in order to complete a graphic organizer.  Ultimately, students will test their knowledge of the new amendments, as well as the Bill of Rights, in a game of GO FISH!
