Scroll down ⬇️ for our most recent work. Here are the Law 12 Big Ideas:
Understanding legal rights and responsibilities allows citizens to participate more fully in society.
Laws can maintain the status quo and can also be a force for change.
A society’s laws and legal framework affect many aspects of people’s daily lives.
Laws are interpreted, and these interpretations may evolve over time as a society’s values and worldviews change.

Today students did a brief reading quiz on the article by Rushworth Kiddier.
Then they were introduced to a "History of Law" group project.
I'd really recommend the resource below ⬇️
We discussed "Common Decency" and where we get our morality.
Then students did a quick reflection activity helping them identify their own perspectives about morality & where their morals come from.
Then they had a the first half of a lecture on "The Law in our Lives"
For Homework Students should finish reading & taking hand-written notes on Rushworth Kiddier's article "The Ethics of Right Versus Right."
Students were given an initial introduction to the textbook as they attempted to identify all the instances where a scenario "Laws are Everywhere" highighted activities that could involve the Law.
We then watched the Trolly Problem video & discussed individual morality vs the law.
