After a close reading of the First Amendment and the five freedoms it guarantees, class members examine the civil rights timeline to see how civil rights groups applied these freedoms to create change. Using the issue the class chose in Lesson One and guided by the "First Amendment as a Tool for Change" worksheet, groups then create plans to use all five freedoms in a service-learning project to address the issue. After groups present their plans, the class selects one project to implement.
