Step #2 "What Does the First Amendment Say?"

 Directions:

 Carefully read the actual text of the First Amendment as it appears in the Bill of Rights.  You should read it over several times for greater understanding.  Think about what the statement means.  What freedoms do you think the founding fathers wished to protect within this amendment?  To make it easier, break the statement down into smaller parts and write down any notes that you think are important.  Answer the question dealing with the amendment on the electronic worksheet you downloaded. When you think that you fully understand what the amendment means, go onto "Step #3Pictures of the First Amendment in Action".
