INTRODUCTION

Similar to "No Animals Allowed" but designed for older learners, this lesson uses a set of scenarios to prompt students to think critically about the intent behind lawmakers when creating a law. Working through case scenarios, students analyze how a law banning vehicles from a public park should be applied — a great option for classes ready to dig into legal reasoning.

RESOURCES FOR TEACHERS

Prepare your students in advance by introducing them to the subject of this lesson. By preparing them in advance, the judge will have more time to go more deeply into the critical points while also leaving time for questions.
