The Washington Monument in the National Mall. The Supreme Court is at one end of the Mall, past the Capitol Building.
Hi everyone,
Did you know that there are only 11 more B days in the school year - less, if you are a senior? So much to do during that short amount of time! Here's what happened today:
Learning Targets:
SS.HS.CR.ALT.03: I can apply understanding of ideas and concepts to a new context or problem.
SS.HS.RE.ALT.05: I can effectively conduct and apply research.
SS.HS.KN.ALT.02: I can demonstrate an understanding of the role of governments in current issues.
SS.HS.CO.ALT.05: I can communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing.
Soundtrack: “I've Got You Under My Skin" by Frank Sinatra. Selected because getting under someone's skin could lead to a conflict, which could result in a court case. Lyrics here.
AGENDA 5/7/14:
Finish 10 Supreme Court Cases
More Landmark Cases
News Brief/Presentations: Nobody was prepared for either of these, so we did not have these sections. I asked Mel to help us out with a current news story for next class. Since he has already done a news brief write up, I'm not going to ask him to do another write up - just know an article to talk about.
Finish 10 Supreme Court Cases: Here's the article, if you missed class, or lost the copy I gave you:
More Landmark Cases: To end class, I passed out another packet of important Supreme Court cases to know and talk about. As I said multiple times in class, I know this could be a bit boring, if you aren't interested in law. I am, and I know many of you are as well, so it is interesting for me! I am thankful for your effort in following along. See you on Friday!

Again, what I wanted everyone to do was the following, for each case:
1) What was the case?
2) What happened, generally, in about a paragraph?
3) What was the verdict?
4) Do you agree or disagree with the verdict? Why?
This will help you prepare for the judicial branch test upcoming! We went over all the cases together.
