 * Day 1 **

In your virtual notebooks answer the following prompt: what did you learn about researching yesterday? How was this different from how you have done research in the past? How is this group project different from ones you have done in school before? Share this information with a partner, and summarize their reflections underneath yours in BOLD Finish any research you still need to do on your topic. Finish your Mind Maps, add pictures, color, personalize, etc = When and why was the Supreme Court created? = 7-13-10 What did you think of Tokbok? How can we use this in school? My thoughts about tokbok is that in the beginning it is really hard for someone who never used it but in the end it becomes more easy to use. I think in the future, schools would be using this to learn different information from different people like wwhat we did today. I also think that we can now use it to talk to different schools in different places like Califorina. I can use this in my personal life by talking to friends and seeing them at the same time which is good because if your friend is away and cam't see you then you can use this. What I learned today about the Supreme Court is that the people are chosen by the president. Then the chief justice chooses other justices.

Activity 1
1) Create a new wiki page in your virtual notebook with today's date and "Warren Court" as a title. 2) Cut and paste the guided questions and objectives from above onto your page. Don't forget to READ them so you know what our focus is for the next hour. 3) Review the first 16 amendments start on page 186 in your text book or from the National Archives website (you may want to click on the "read transcript" button near the top). 4) In teams created by your teacher, everyone should choose a different amendment and re-write (in your own words) what "right" it grants you on your wiki page. 5) Next, share your paraphrased definition with the rest of your group and add the your teammates' Constitutional rights. Amendment VII I think amendment 7 means that an accused person should have the right of having a trial. If the value of the crime is more then twenty dollars should be trialed by a jury. Students reflect individually and summarize in their virtual notebook, which case they think was most influential in their lives today and why. The case that was the most influential was the one with the Brown vs. Board of Education. If that didn't stop, then people would have to go to schools that are farther away. They should not do that because all of the students just want to learn so it shouldn.t really matter where they learn. 1. The Warren Court is famous for hearing cases that can be found in the amendments.​ Speedy trial 2. The decision made by the Warren Court affect US citizens by helping them with an easier life because it change how people think. ​ 3. It affects us today by making us more open. How the trials go. Create a Glog of what you learned about the Warren Courts [] supreme court/ My thoughs about glogster is that it is a very simple website to use because on the tool bar side it tells you what it is. I think anyone could use it. I think the lesson today is fun because the cases we learned are interesting and we got to use a new website. My favorite part of the day is playing the game because it is fun and it also shows you what you learned today. In the future I will use Glog in my future projects.
