Today's block order is A B C D

B Block   Socials 9

Today we discussed the three remaining topics...Lord Protector, The Restoration and the Glorious Revolution.  The students read the corresponding pages in the textbook and then took notes on each of the sections. Once they were done, we had a class discussion on the importance of each and how it led to England becoming a constitutional monarchy.
When we were finished this, we watched the last of the movie Cromwell.

C/D Block   Law 12

Today the students were assigned a case per two students. One student acted like the plantiff while the other student was the defendant. The students were randomly given a different case. They were to read the case and argue for its validity.
The cases ranged from locker searches to religious rights.  The students were given about half the class to prepare for their case and the other half of class to debate their side of the case. Some interesting discussions.
