This
site was developed to provide teachers with a full range
of resources and activities to support the teaching
of landmark Supreme Court cases, helping students explore
the key issues of each case. The "Resources" section
features basic building blocks such as background summaries
and excerpts of opinions that can be used in multiple
ways. The "Activities" section contains a range of short
activities and in-depth lessons that can be completed
with students. While these activities are online, many
of them can be adapted for use in a one-computer classroom
or a classroom with no computer.
Depending upon the amount of time you have to teach the case,
you may want to use one or more of the "Resources" or "Activities"
in conjunction with one or more of the general teaching strategies.
These general teaching strategies include moot court activities,
political cartoon analysis, continuum exercises, and Web site
evaluation.
