Class was built around five questions today:
1) How does a Supreme Court Judge understand the Constitution?
2) How do Supreme Court Judges think about doing their job?
and for the 2nd activity of the day
3) What would "I" do as a Justice?
Class began by viewing the following interview with two Supreme Court Justices.
Students were asked to attend to the following three questions while taking Cornell Notes on the video:
A) Which questions from the students are also questions you have?
B) Which answer(s) from the justices are / were most surprising to you?
C) What roles odes personal belief / values play in their role (according to the Justices)?
Today we will be viewing Our Constitution: A Conversation Justices Sandra Day O’Connor and Stephen G. Breyer answer questions from students about why we need a written Constitution and what it says about the Supreme Court and its rulings. (29 min)
Next, students were asked to think about the new law passed in Coos County denying state of Oregon gun control laws in the country. Students were given the following hand out on the case Printz vs United States (1997).
Students are to create:
two arguments for their point of view for their preferred outcome.
one argument they predict someone who disagrees with them would make
one argument to counter the argument they predict someone who disagrees with them would make.
These arguments may be made based on personal beliefs.
