	What We've Done What's Ahead


Throughout this semester, students will be exploring links to sites that provide information about the First Amendment and the legal system, and sites that offer historical material.
Begin here by looking at these sites (click on the image on the left):

	The Freedom Forum's Web site is one of the best when it comes to information about the First Amendment. Take 15-30 minutes to thoroughly explore the site. Read several sections in their entirety, while skimming others. You won't be handing in a written assignment at this point, but be sure to look at it anyway.
	The National Archives and Records Administrations (NARA) has some wonderful sites on the Constitution and the Framers who wrote it. For this assignment, read the opening page of the site that describes the Constitutional Convention and the Bill of Rights. (You may want to print it). You won't be handing in a written assignment at this point, but be sure to read that first page anyway. (Do you know who the Framer is pictured here? If it was not for this person, we may never have had the Bill of Rights).

	Historical Documents A visually compelling exhibit at the National Archives of many of the nation's most important documents.
