This year, two of our Video Lessons come from KSB Law Firm and one from Lincoln Public Schools. Each lesson is linked below, with some talking points/discussion questions for each topic.  

Our intention is to have teachers watch the video with students and discuss it. (We included talking points for each topic) Then the students can individually process the content of the video with the provided Gimkit game. Finally, each student can take the assessment and earn a certificate of completion by scoring 100%.  (Multiple attempts are allowed.)

Teachers have the option of when to provide the lessons to their students: weekly, monthly, or whatever fits their schedule! We will wrap up this online event at the end of March with the announcement of the contest winners! Don't forget to share that information with your students and encourage them to submit entries!
