The purpose of this class is to show students why government matters to them and how their lives are shaped by their constitutional rights. It was also created to meet the Utah U.S. History Core Standard: 
U.S. I Standard 4.3:
Students will use historic case studies and current events to trace how and explain why the rights, liberties, and responsibilities of citizens have changed over time.

I am a licensed Social Studies teacher in the state where I live. I taught this class as part of a unit on the U.S. Constitution in my high school U.S. History class. 
I have several years of experience working with teens as a mentor, camp counselor, tutor, teacher, and debate coach.

Homework Offered
Assessments Offered
We will be discussing each court case as a class. Students will be expected to identify what exactly their rights are as outlined by the court case and to decide whether they agree or disagree with the court ruling.

If students desire a letter grade, I can send a worksheet upon request that follows the material we will be discussing, which I can then grade upon completion.
Grades Offered

We will refer to the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights throughout the class.
