Summarize and paraphrase The Bill of Rights (each of the first ten amendments) and just the first three sections of the 14th Amendment.
Please note that you will need to do both at the same time–summarize and paraphrase:summarize means to shorten and make brief, using key points, and PARAPHRASE.
You should have ten paragraphs for the Bill of Rights–the combined summaries and paraphrases, and three separate paragraphs for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd sections of the 14th Amendment.
Be careful of borrowing too much of the original language.
Avoid passive voice (do not use weak verbs like “contains,” “describes,” “discuss,” “deals with,” or “talks about”). Use strong and clear verbs: guarantees, states, protects.
Use complete sentences (with strong and clear verbs).
Identify only key points. Avoid “responding” or “evaluating” or giving context when you summarize and paraphrase.
You should end-up with one to three sentences per amendment
