Design A Constitution Trivia Game

Recommendations

Info

Digital Project Overview (that the students see): One of the most important documents in American history is the United States Constitution. In the words of Thomas Jefferson, our third president, the Constitution is "the result of the collected wisdom of our country." Because the Constitution has existed for so long, amendments have been made to keep up with the issues of the changing times. Some of the biggest issues facing Americans today are our rights and responsibilities as digital citizens. Although the Constitution is the guiding law of the U.S., the Founding Fathers could not conceive of the technological advancements of today, and therefore new laws and protections have been put in place. You will read, research, and study the U.S. Constitution using credible sources. You will use your research to create a trivia game, such as Jeopardy! or "Trivial Pursuit" with questions about the U.S. Constitution, as well as its amendments and the way in which amendments are passed. The game should include categories for the Legislative, Judicial, and Executive branches, as well as one for amendments. You should also include categories for digital citizenship rights and digital citizenship responsibilities. Examples might include CIPPA, COPPA, cyberbullying, sexting, plagiarism, acceptable use policies, creative commons, etc. You are required to include a bibliography or works cited page. The game should be for two or more players, and you must have at least the minimum number of questions specified by your teacher. You are required to choose appropriate software applications and technologies for your game design. The game should be playable and must be uploaded as a file. Please be creative! A requirement of this project is that the game is fun and engaging. This can be done by using music, sound effects, graphics, and pictures. 6

Here’s what the students will see for this project: There are likely several different technologies that you could use to complete this project, and we’ve included a few possibilities below.
