Government 12 – Mr. Donald - Bill of Rights Webquest

Below are the locations of 4 webquests on The Bill of Rights and the Judicial System, which you will be filling out.


In sequence, answer the prompts as directed for each webquest using your own notebook paper.
(Start a new page for each webquest and number each answer to correspond with the prompt.)


You are only responsible for the first two to receive a grade, but you can do the 3rd and 4th for extra credit if you have time. Although there may be 2 people to a computer, you are each responsible for your own answers.

The answers to the prompts are part of the notes you will use on this week’s test.

PLEASE NOTE: ON Webquest #2, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A HEADSET THAT FITS A PHONE/MUSIC PLAYER/COMPUTER (3.5mm TRS), THEN YOU MUST READ THE VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION TO THE LEFT OF THE VIDEO PICTURE.  YOU MAY NOT LISTEN TO THE SOUND ON THE SPEAKERS!
