I chose this picture because the American flag represents the United States and the people seem to be celebrating/ taking pride in the flag. In Order to form a more perfect Union
I chose this picture because it shows people uniting/connecting. Establish Justice
I chose this picture because the scales of justice represents finding justice through a system. Insure domestic tranquility
I chose this picture because its a peace symbol with the United states flag embedded in it. United States flag refers back to being domestic. Provide for the common defense
I chose this picture because it also has a domestic appearance with the United States flag imaged as well as the symbols that show military defense. The US uses tanks, ships and planes when defending. Promote the general Welfare
I chose this picture because it shows the woman on a megaphone. Megaphones are used to express loudly = promote. And secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Prosperity
I chose this picture of the Statue of Liberty because the word liberty stands out in this phrase. I also thought of the liberty bell but the crack in it does not represent security. This picture was more sufficient as it again incorporates the American flag. Do ordain and establish the Constitution for the United States of America
I chose this picture because it has a document with a seal that is being executed: representing the document as established and official.
Picture the Preamble Reflection
While completing the Picture the Preamble table, I initially was more concerned with the requirements for completing the assignment. I wanted to ensure I had the correct materials and resources to complete the assignment. As I began preparing for the assignment, I begin to fall back into the student role again. I found myself enjoying the time I spent describing a phrase to express my own ideas of the preamble phrases, when I completed the planning sheet. The keyword search was easy to establish once I had the description of what the phrase means. By the end of the planning sheet I was eager to move on to the next part of the assignment which included actually building a word processing table. Once I created my chart and added the phrases, I went on my search for what the phrase means to mean and how I could best represent the phrase through a picture. A couple of the pictures that I imagined did not appear with the keywords I initially entered so I had to be more specific about what I was looking for. I found a picture for each phrase that I was pleased with. The most challenging phrase to locate during the keyword search was the one involving promoting welfare. While the least challenging phrase to find with the keyword search was images representing the United States and the American flag. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and think completing this assignment as a participant gives me even more insight on lesson planning as well as creating a word processing project.
