• Accuracy: Does it clearly state the rights of the different amendments? Does it illustrate the meaning of or the spirit of the right?

* a montage is a combination of different pictures to create one major image—using several small images to create a big image. You need a minimum of ten images, one for each Article in the Bill of Rights. Your montage theme is American symbols of freedom.

Bill of Rights - the document from the National Archives site

Help with understanding the vocabulary in the Bill of Rights.  The U.S. Constitution Online - scroll down about 2/3s of the page to find the Bill of Rights.  The Heading will say "The Amendments."

Picture Sources

One of the links under Research Help is Pictures On-Line. (Research Help appears in the blue box on every library web page)  These sites are listed because they are accessible from school (not blocked).  Another site you can use is the Univ. at Albany Search Engine Guide.  Scroll down to image search engines.  (many will be blocked)

We have a cut box in the library - it is the purple plastic tub in the leisure section.

The Maine Research Databases will help you to find images.  If you click on Social Sciences, I would suggest searching in Academic Search Premier and Masterfile Premier.  Click on the Images icon in the green toolbar at the top of the page.
