The Our Courts project, in partnership with Georgetown Law, recently launched a new program for Washington DC schools. Our Courts will send a small team of law students to teach civics in middle school classrooms using interactive games. The Our Courts lessons and games meet DC’s 8th grade social studies standards, and our volunteers can teach 1, 2, or 3 class periods depending on your needs. Our curriculum is fun and engaging, and has been shown to improve student understanding of the Constitution and its amendments. For more information or to schedule a class session, please contact Jeff Curley at info@ourcourts.org or (202) 661-6527.
We have also just released a new game, Argument Wars. In it, students argue landmark Supreme Court cases and evaluate supports for key arguments. Each case is separate within Argument Wars, so you can teach as many or as few as you would like. Check them out using the links below:
• Brown v. Board of Education
• New Jersey v. T.L.O
• Gideon v. Wainwright
• Texas v. Johnson (coming soon)
• Miranda v. Arizona (coming soon)
