 * Hi everyone -** as we discussed in the class, you can hand in your essay over the case either on Tuesday in a hard copy...or Wednesday by 2:30 here on the wiki...here is how you do this...you click on edit...then you click the picture icon...it says "insert images and files" if you hover over it...then just follow the upload process for a Word Doc...it will date and time stamp the upload, so make sure you do this by 2:30...don't procrastinate just in case you run into difficulty...this is an experiment so just give it a try if you want, if for some reason it does not work...then email it to me...OR...I think you can just type your RE to the essay question right into the wiki...I know some were worried about other editing their work, but it looks like the wiki keeps track of who does what on the page...so your choice...see how it goes...


 * HERE IS THE ESSAY QUESTION FROM THE DOC PACKET =** "Argue whether or not burning the American Flag is so offensive as to be outside the legitimate marketplace of ideas"...in other words...Does the first amendment protect this "speech"...or is this too broad a definition of speech...discuss why you think what you do based on the document notes you have taken...make sure you site a minimum of 5 docs...

11/18...we are to start a mini unit on civil liberties by looking at a Supreme Court Case...we will continue the theme set forth in Schenck vs U.S. RE freedom of speech and what constitutes "speech"...we will do this by looking at Texas v Johnson...we will work on this in class, you will have about 13 documents to look at along with questions regarding each document, we will conclude with an overarching essay RE the topic of flag burning that will be due before break...:-)
