Say hello and make small talk about things going on in the person's life. List four things you could talk about with your person.

1. Hi, Mr.Gilman!

2. I hear you have seven brothers and sisters. The house must have been pretty crazy growing up.

3. You were a Senator, Delegate, and a Representative for New Hampshire, plus you went to school to be a lawyer. That's pretty cool. It must have been really time consuming.

Give an example of how we see that Article or Amendment in action today and if it is still working to benefit us?

1Who- This Amendments benefits everyone.

2What- It gives us the right to be free and independant with what we believe and feel is right.

3When- No one can stop us from believing or saying anything at any time.

4Where- It gives us the right to protest or worship anywhere.

5Why- This is important because if we didn't have this bill, the government could tell us what religion to practice and we could never stand up for ourselves in what we believe.

6How- You can see this bill is used today because reporters publish whatever they want in the newspapers and people worship many different things.

7Keep it? Change it? Why?- This Amendment should be kept because it is important to keep our society free.
