Constitution+RD

=September 17, 2008 has been declared "Constitution Day." Why? Why would a law be passed to "force" every kid in America to learn about the United States Constitution? Make a phone call to one of the signers of the Constitution and tell him whether this celebration should continue in the 21st Century. Your phone call should answer the question -- Should we set aside a day to celebrate the US Constitution despite the fact that it was signed over 200 years ago? Your phone call must be between :55-1:05. See direction on previous page for creating the podcast. Prove the day should continue? or Prove that the day should not continue? Your answer and evidence is due on Friday. It must be in the form of a podcast that is between :55 and 1:05 minutes long. You can work in a group or by yourself. Directions for recording the phone call (It will not cost you one cent)= =__**0:00-0:10**__=
