The project gives us an opportunity to see the Constitution as a living Constitution. We were able to find news articles that show the Constitution active in daily life. We used different media tools to portray what we learned using powerpoints, glogster, and web 2.0 tools.
 * __Introduction__**

The Constitution is very important. The constitution protects the rights of the people of the nation. It is the building structure for our government and law. In the United States, our Constitution is the law of the land. It is valued and indeed cherished by all Americans. Our president and all members of the uniformed services take an oath to support and defend the Constitution. America is the land of opportunity and the Constitution is the primary reason for that. Without the constitution our rights and freedoms would be non-existent. We are lucky to have the Constitution because in other countries we wouldn’t have the same rights and freedoms. This project truly gives us a great opportunity to appreciate how much the Constitution has done for our lives.The Constitution is a living document. It isn't just an old document that has no reference in today's society. It is alive and plays a significant role everyday. The Constitution is a consent reminder of our protection and freedom.

__**The Concept of "The Living Constitution"**__

=
The concept of the Living Constitution is one way of interpreting the US Constitution. Those who believe in a Living Constitution believe that the Constitution is revisable in order to take account the changes of each generation. Just like it’s title, the Living Constitution must grow and change as well while still keeping its original intent. Many of those who believe in this concept of the Living Constitution believe that there is much more meaning behind the concrete text of the Constitution therefore believing in the ability of document evolving in content.======

Throughout the time of producing the project, we have learned more and more in detail of the Constitution, focusing on the first six articles and the Bill of Rights, focusing on the first ten amendments. We have presented the same message that was portrayed through the meaningful documents from over 200 years ago, and now still presented in the present day news. The basic ideas are still within the legal documents today and are apart of our every day lives. This project made us see that just because the Constitution is old doesn't mean it's dead, it just means that it's buried within our lives and the news.
 * __Conclusion:__**

__**Grade we deserve and why:**__ Basically we did as we were told and had it done by the time it needed to be done. So we were on time and up-to-date with everything, and we used our time in class wisely, asking each other questions about the project and formatting the project. We spent a while searching for the right articles but the work of the final project got finished on time. We may not have all been communicating with the rest of the group but the work was finished and posted in a timely manner. And for that our hard work deserves at least a 135/150.
