September 17: Constitution Day -- Extra Credit Opportunity


You could earn up to 20 points by memorizing the topics of each of the first ten amendments to the Constitution of the United States.  Some of these links could help you.  The most helpful one is the memorise.org link.  It gives you a mnemonic for learning the Bill of Rights.  The Bill of Rights rap is memorable, too.   This opportunity expires October 19.

FYI:  How did our political leanings come to be known as "left" and "right"?  http://hotword.dictionary.com/leftright/
