Students record an audio clip about each of the 10 amendments in the Bill of Rights, describing the purpose and the controversies, then upload them in a Scratch coding project. Using Makey Makey, students integrate their Scratch project with a physical model representing the subject matter. In this example, the model is intended to be an old-fashioned desk with quill pens and inkwells, to recall the late 1700s when the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights were drafted. The top of the desk is engraved with a US flag.
