Read P 248 The Preamble to the Constitution and answer the two "SKILLBUILDER" questions at the bottom of the page.  It is only one page to read and two questions, however they require some careful thinking in order to answer.  Take your time and read carefully!

Page 244-247 questions 1-7

Using the Research Project packet fill in the page for "four specific facts" with four facts and four sources.  Find four websites which are different from the sources your group mates submitted.  This way your group as a whole will have a minimum of 16 unique web sources to use to do research.    If you have lost your packet you can download a new one here:
