Read the 5th Amendment on netschool. What does it mean? Begin rough draft of an essay that describes the 5th Amendment. In your writer's notebook, go to the first blank page in Notes and title it 5th amendment and the page number. Go back to the TOC and write 5th amendment and the page number. Create a Bubble Map. Write 5th amendment in the middle bubble. Another smaller bubble titled Real Meaning, My Meaning, Real life example, and example from NBT. 

If finished with all of the above begin the next step of research. Look on my netschool site and click on 5th amendment cases. Read at least 5. Decide on the one that you could easily write about and put the summary in the Real Life example.
