Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties Tic-Tac-Toe

Teaching everything about civil rights and civil liberties is difficult. There are so many topics and ideas that it
could take months to have a full idea of how it works. Naturally, you might be interested in different civil rights
or liberties than another student. This is your chance to find stuff you like! Below are nine different activities
you can do. None of these are mandatory, but you must complete three to receive full credit on the
assignment. The three assignments do not need to be in a line, but try to complete three different kinds of
assignments, like one where you draw, or one where you write. Every activity is worth 10 points, so the most
you can get is 30. Extra credit will be given if you do more than three, five points extra for each extra activity
completed.
