Which amendments of the Bill of Rights are most important to you? Why?

Introduction of Lesson: Preface the lesson by telling the students that we will be watching a video today. Some of the things in the video may be controversial or things that they do not agree with, but we need to remember the purpose behind this video and what it is trying to examine. Lets remain respectful to one another as we have a discussion on what we see.

Lesson Instruction: 30 mins (11:00-21:21) Free Speech -what other groups have used protest to move a cause forward? (civil rights) -should the Westboros manner of speech be protected by the 1st Amendment? -do you think the Supreme Court made the right decision? -do you think the current limits on free speech are right, or should speech be completely free? Is free speech absolute? -should offensive speech be protected? (38:29--) Changing Bill of Rights -why does it seem like the definitions to these rights change over time?

(40:48-48:28) Privacy -Did you know that your online social media outlets are allowed to use your info? Does that make you reevaluate your online activity? -Do you believe, like the people at Twitter, that what you tweet is private? -Do we have a reasonable expectation of privacy online? -Is technology putting cracks in the Bill of Rights? Where?
