Bill of Rights Institute

http://www.billofrightsinstitute.org/Teach/FreeResources/Lessons/ Here are some free lesson plans and resources for teaching the Bill of Rights. There is also a section called "Bill of Rights in the News" http://www.billofrightsinstitute.org/Teach/News/PastHeadlines.asp?action= which uses actual news stories to illustrate how rights are applied in current day situation. Many of the articles come from the First Amendment Center http://www.firstamendmentcenter.org/ which also has additional study materials. As always, it is important to review the material before use, as some of it may be controversial.
