The Three Branches
Every classroom should view this video. It is illustrated and scripted for all ages.
It is short enough to integrate into any lesson, or to share with the teacher ahead of your visit.
The Constitution
Most Judges in the Classroom lessons include slides introducing students to the Constitution. You may replace those slides with this video. It is a great introduction that covers a lot in under 4 minutes.
Suggestion:
For any lesson, you may warm up the class by introducing yourself, your background, ties to the community (pointing out to where your "office" is located). You may explain the reason for your visit, but first and foremost there's something important you need to make sure the class understands before you continue...then play this video.
What Happens at Court?
Judge Shaina Colover and the Orange County Superior Court offers this excellent introduction to the Court. This video is 10 minutes in length.
Suggestion: Ask the teacher to have the class view beforehand and prepare questions (if any) for your visit.
Crossword Puzzle (PDF): print out enough copies of this crossword puzzle in case you have extra time. This should take about 10 minutes to do. Review the clues as the students complete the puzzle. Bring a prize for the first one to finish -- a photo of themselves in your robe? Candy? (Check with the teacher, of course)
Judicial Review
Although this video is an animation, the content introducing the background of Marbury v. Madison is too advanced for younger learners. Some high school classrooms may benefit from viewing this video that describes what Judicial Review means.

This is an exceptional video, one the teacher should show students before your visit.
