In class today: Looking at the First Amendment

While Americans generally agree that the First Amendment to the Constitution protects the freedom of speech, there are disagreements over when, where, how and if speech should be ever limited or restricted.

This lesson plan encourages is meant  to examine your own assumptions about what freedom of speech really means, as well as to deepen your understanding of the current accepted interpretation of speech rights under the First Amendment.

Today we are going to look at what we think we know. We will review this as a class.  Grab a piece of paper and a pencil, and we'll review the five choices; then work through as a class. It is the expectation that you will have a response and reason for your selection when arbitrarily called upon.
