Description and Features

*NEW EDITION* This highly recommended 144-page teacher's guide is used with the You Decide! student book—sold separately—to teach students about the Bill of Rights. This guide includes objectives, suggestions, and a graphic organizer to keep track of facts in each case and the Supreme Court decisions. Because the student book does not contain the court decisions, use of the guide is essential.

Students acquire an in depth understanding of the Bill of Rights by:
     •  Learning each of the first 8 amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
     •  Reading real court cases involving each amendment.
     •  Judging each case based on their knowledge of the relevant amendment and the facts of the case.
     •  Comparing their ruling with the ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court.

This has allowed us to put real meat on the bones of our study of government. Every week we find news events that provoke thoughtful discussion based on what we have learned through the texts. My kids now know how the actions of a court 3,000 miles away could actually affect their daily lives.

I thought this book was so exceptional that I recommended it to our headmaster. I believe that all children need a better understanding of the laws that affect their lives.

I can't imagine a better method for teaching your students about the Bill of Rights and the U.S. legal system than using these books.
