Constitution and Schoolhouse Rock

Today you will work with a small group to create your very own "Schoolhouse Rock" song to share with the class!

Say what?

Indeed! Just like the Preamble song we all know and love, there are others. We'll watch "I'm Just A Bill" in class as a model. Here are links to the lyrics for these songs:

• I'm Just A Bill

Note how there are verses and a chorus, although they are in different formats. For your song today, you will need to either use the melody from an existing song or write your own. It must include a chorus - this is your way of highlighting the key parts of your assigned section of the Constitution. It must also include either two verses or a skit, similar to the formats shown above.

Please type out your lyrics in a Google doc and one person from your group will submit them.

Start by reviewing your assigned section and determining which part(s) of it will be the focus of your song.

Group assignments:

1. Article 1, Section 8-9
2. Article 2, Section 1
3. Article 2, Section 2-4
4. Article 3
5. Article 4, Sections 1-2
6. Article 4, Sections 3-4
7. Article 5
8. Article 6

Good luck!
