Constitutional Goals Poster
In class we have been studying the six goals of the U.S. Constitution. These
goals describe the purpose of our Constitution or what our founding fathers set
out to achieve. Working in small groups (no more than three) or individually, you
are to demonstrate your knowledege and undertanding of these six goals.
Using a piece a posterboard, you are to create a poster that illustrates and
describes each of these six goals. You must create one example for each goal
using a visual image (a very neat drawing, pictures cut from a magazine, or
computer generated clip art) and then provide a clear and neatly written
description telling HOW your picture represents or relates to the goal you have
chosen. Descriptions may be typed or handwritten, in ink, as long as it is neat
and legible. Each goal also needs to be labeled clearly so the reader can easily
see what picture is being used to describe the goal.
