A national university system with 10 campuses throughout the United States, Concordia was founded more than 100 years ago and is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities.

1. After introducing the Bill of Rights, I broke the class into 10 two or three person groupings.

2. Each group picked a number from a jar. The number represented the Amendment to the Constitution that they would be responsible for on our mural.

3. Each group received a very large sheet of paper (poster size or larger is recommended).

4. Each group "paints a mural" of their amendment using only pictures/symbols and NO WRITTEN WORDS!!

6. I gave the groups approximately 2-3 days from conception of the idea to the finished product (after which they presented their mural to the class).
