Participation in Government Unit
The focus in this unit is on the Participation in Government class, as all seniors are required to take it. It is a non-regents course that provides more teaching flexibility and less emphasis on an end of year assessment.
Overview
Students will individually research a Supreme Court decision that could potentially affect them, consider the decision, and analyze the cultural impact and outcome of such a case and present a cogent argument for agreeing or disagreeing with the decision.
Final Product
Students will present their research as either:
- a formal paper (preferred)
- well-produced documentary with appropriate attribution
- teacher/LMS approved product
All products will have properly documented MLA citation
