Dawn:

I have one, but it may require more time for planning than you have.  I 
take constitutional issues in the news (and there are plenty), and ask 
students to evaluate them.  they are to say which part of the 
constitution is at issue, analyze it, and say how they would decide if 
they were the court.  When I do this, it is a team exercise.  They may 
have a majority and minority position if the team cannot agree.  

If you can get laptops into the classroom, and they can research news 
sites online, they may be able to do it, but it's probably a stretch.  

An alternative would be if you have news items representing 
constitutional issues.  You may be able to gather such items in not 
much time. Good luck!
