World War 1: Lessons on the Great War

You Decide: The Series

Average rating:4.9Number of reviews:(661)
This ongoing class will have students act as jurors in a different civil case every meeting. This is much like the McDonald's and Johnson and Johnson You Decide classes, but allows students to do a new case each time they meet!

Class experience

Students will gain an understanding of the civil trial process and use critical thinking skills to determine the outcome of the case. 
Laura Forde has taught about civil and criminal cases since 2003. She has researched and read the briefs on the cases to get a full understanding of the case.  
 We try to make sure that we don't choose topics that are too difficult for kids to deal with.  So, for example, the bullying cases do not result in suicide and we try to choose some cases that are of high interest to kids this age. If there is something that is sensitive, we note that next to the case and week it will occur. 
We use the briefs for the cases and judicial decisions as well as other information from secondary sources that analyze it.
