Thursday February 7th 2019

Morning Everyone:

Do Now:

Summarize the religion part of the First Amendment in your own words.

Using  the scenarios provided, in your groups create a skit and perform it in class.

Exit Ticket:

What challenges do students, parents, teachers and administrators face when trying to protect freedom of religion, how does the First Amendment guarantee this right?

Enrichment Option for homework: What are your thoughts on the school rules about the Pledge of Allegiance?

My summary of the religion part of the First Amendment (for the Do Now):

Establishment Clause: In the United States there can not be one state religion that the country has to abide by.

Free Exercise Clause: In the United States you can worship as you will without any repercussions.

3. Question

Why do you think the Founders included both of these protections for freedom of religion?
I think they included these because they protected their country from one controlling religion, and also stated that citizens can choose to believe and pray in anyway they choose.

Have a great Thursday!
