Preamble+Activity

"We the People" of AP U.S. History are going to put our own artistic stamp on the Preamble of the U.S. Constitution as an introduction to our Constitutional Theater project we are completing for our friends in New Jersey as follows:


 * You will be assigned one snippet of the Preamble.
 * Think about how your snippet could be visualized to reinforce it more clearly for your audience.
 * Either find or create your own image to reinforce your snippet and save it on your computer. Please name your file with the text of your snippet and your name. For example, "We the People Jessica Y.jpg"
 * Next class, we will record our voices so that I can weave this text and image project together.
