Here is my lesson plan for 5th grade on Dred Scott v. Sanford.
I am still 'geeking' out on all of the information that was presented and discussed during class. I thoroughly enjoyed the class and couldn't wait to get home and 'bore' my family with everything I learned. Thank you!
Attached is my second lesson plan of a reader's theater of a supreme court case. The "oyez.org" site is incredible. I found myself listening to a number of court cases as well as downloading the mp3 files for listening pleasure at a future time. I enjoyed the audio casts of the oral arguments with the rolling text which identified which chief justice was questioning the presenting attorney.
I also enjoyed viewing John Trampush's collection of resources.
Hello, here is my lesson plan. I am planning on refining it and using it this fall with the addition of having Sandra Day O'Connor there to play "Do I Have a Right?" with one or more of my classes. How COOL is that. Thanks for the class and have a great summer.
Hi all, attached are 5 fifth grade Constitution lessons to be done the week in which Constitution Day falls. Then the Constitution is revisited in 3rd quarter Soc. Studies curriculum.
I enjoyed the class and the participants. Happy Summer, Pam oh wait didn't attach. will try again.
Thanks for an excellent class. I greatly enjoyed the discussion, sharing of ideas, and your personal insight into so many areas of contemporary social studies. I hope you had a wonderful time in Homer and were able to get in some running.
Thanks as well to my classmates for sharing lesson plans. What a wealth of resources!
The attached lesson plan set is complete and fairly detailed, I also wanted to share my lesser developed idea which I will leave below. Thanks again to all!
Previous Lessons: Bill of Rights (2-5 days) Court Structure (1 day) Role of the Supreme Court/Legal Vocab (1/2 - 1 day)
Taking on the Supreme Court: Mock Trial
Summary: In this series of lesson plans, students will “take on” the Supreme Court by arguing an actual court case that may potentially reach the Supreme Court on a future date. Following a unit on The Bill of Rights, and following after introductory lessons regarding court structure, responsibilities, and legal jargon, students will participate in a mock trial in which they will try an actual case that has the potential to one day be seen at the Supreme Court level. Each student will play a role in the case as either part of the defense, prosecution, or a Supreme Court Justice.
Here is my lesson. Since this is my first year teaching 5th grade I know I will be editing parts of this lesson as I go along. I would like to work in a case study of the Dred Scott trial when I get to the slavery section. Not sure how 5th graders will deal with it but it will be learning experience either way. Have a good summer. Vonda Oswald
This was an amazing class, thank you for presenting. I learned so much and really enjoyed my time with you. Additionally, I appreciate all of the well knowledged colleagues who participated in the class. What a blessing to experience your collective expertice. Thanks to each of you for your contribution to my learning.
The end of my lessons include the idea of a Power Point Jeopardy game that I am still developing. I will post it later when I complete it if anyone is interested in using it.
