HW 11/9 Articles 3-7 of the US Constitution.


Read: Articles III-VII of the U.S. Constitution; packet given in class. If you've lost your packet click here to retrieve the same copy we are using in class. 
Task: Summarize each article and each section of the Constitution on a separate sheet of paper
Due: Tuesday, 11/ 13

Summary Guidelines:

1. Read FIRST, then summarize.
2. Read the whole ARTICLE then summarize the ARTICLE in 2-3 sentences
2. Read each SECTION, then summarize the SECTION in 1 sentence.
3. IF you are going to highlight, DO NOT highlight until you have read the entire Article. Once you have read the Article, then you can go back and select the items that are worthy of being highlighted for later reference.
5. Identify any words that may be key vocabulary terms or words that you need to look up
6. Developing your own annotation system is acceptable and encouraged (ex: green highlight = vocabulary; blue highlight= important people; [brackets around a sentence]= thesis or big idea; *star= this was discussed in class)
