   By now, students should have all of their research sources and be preparing a   bibliography or reference list.  They may use the APA style   www.apastyle.org/faqs.html) or MLA (www.aresearchguide.com) guidelines for   creating a reference list or bibliography.

  If your child needs to find case law relating to their amendment, they can try www.findlaw.com.  If they need additional internet sources, or information on other sources, here some websites:  www.usconstitution.net, www.law.cornell.edu/constitution.html, www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution_amendments_11-27.html ,

  Some students will be creating a Power Point presentation.  They may NOT   bring in a laptop computer.  Please have your child save their presentation on a portable jump drive and bring it in to class in that format. 

  Students should also be preparing an outline and working on their rough draft. 

   Should you have any questions regarding the assignment, please contact me    at 239-549-0606, ext. 287.  I am available from 1:10 to 2:22 p.m. every afternoon.
