Constitution and Supreme Court WebQuest

Introduction

Welcome to your Constitution and Supreme Court WebQuest! Through out this you will find important clues and information that will lead you to find a specific person, event, and/ or time period in history. The more detailed your answer the better. This is why it is absolutely important to take every piece of evidence and research into your final conclusion. Please do not hesitate to tell me why you came to each conclusion you did. The more you give me the stronger your argument!

Good Luck and Have Fun!

Task

On this first page you will find several pieces of evidence (primary sources) that are found in a particular museum exhibit. Rememeber you are the historian so find all the clues you can to lead you to find all the specific people, places, and dates that you can to better your final conclusion. In your conslusion you will tell me the name/ theme of this particular exhibit and how they would be displayed to best show this. Try to write down as much evidence as you can from this first page! Look out for particular processes we have discussed in the past few weeks and use  some of that vocabulary to show your understanding.

The following are in no particular order. They are only given a letter to show where one ends and a new begins.

A)

Diary Excerpt:

"Dear Diary,

On my way to the school bus stop today, something horrible happened to me.  I saw a cat get run over by the train.  I was so sad I started crying.  A strange man kept asking me what was wrong.  Luckily the bus came and I got away from that weird guy. 

Yours truly, Linda"

B)

Political Cartoon

C)

E) An Amendment

F) Picture during this progression of time

G) Hand written note

H) Picture

Process

Now take these pictures and copy and paste them into a Google Slides. Put them in historical order and/or how they make sense within the exhibit theme. There is a "correct" answer but you will be scored on your reasoning and use of the clues. Getting the write answer never hurts though.

Please use all of the pictures! Put one on each slide unless you believe two belong together. Be as creative as you want but only use these pictures.
