Teens don’t see how the Bill of Rights is linked in their own lives, to them it’s only history
In interviews it was clear that many teens don’t understand the relevance the Bill of Rights has on their life. In doing a word count, the most used words in the Bill of Rights were found to be “rights” and “people.”
Understandable, Impactful, & Relatable
The Bill of Rights is a large collection of writings. By grouping the text in smaller portions through emphasis—making bold or italic—and providing reasonable spacing in between makes the text consumable; thus less overwhelming and comprehend-able.
