United States Government Curriculum

Justice By The People is an interactive curriculum that needs at least two students to complete. A complimentary copy of this program was sent to me for review. Justice By The People is more suitable for students with kinesthetic learning styles or any student that'd prefer to learn by doing rather than reading.. Although the description says it's for up to 8th or 9th grade (depending upon which description you read), all high school students I've known who've done this program seem to enjoy it.

The sales lingo: "The jury has reached a verdict! Justice by the People is a powerful new way to build your students’ language arts skills and understanding of civics. This national standards–based program, created by the Foundation of the American Board of Trial Advocates and Scholastic Inc., underscores the importance of the Sixth and Seventh Amendments to students in grades 5–8. "

The Description: "This interactive curriculum has been developed to teach students about one of their most important rights as citizens, trial by jury. Knowledge about this right is critical since most of today's students will be called to serve on juries at some point in their lives. The curriculum's goal is to help students understand the history and value of their constitutional right to trial by jury. The week-long curriculum, for use in grades 5-9, contains a teacher's guide with complete lesson plans, a mock trial on videotape, and a CD-ROM trial simulation game. Each interactive lesson in the curriculum challenges students to apply critical thinking and decision-making skills as they experience and explore the roles of attorneys, judges, and jurors in the U.S. justice system. The curriculum begins with five classroom lessons which involve students in such varied hands-on activities as a group decision-making game developed by NASA, a trial by ordeal, a trial by combat, and a video trial of "Gold E. Locks and the Three Bears." Each lesson ends with an individual assignment designed to reinforce what students have learned and to assist teachers in assessing students' understanding of key concepts. The culminating activity in the curriculum is a multimedia computer game called "Make Your Case" in which students match wits as opposing attorneys in a simulated movie-like trial."
