Lesson Summary:
Our first lesson, ‘Rules, Fairness, Democracy, & You,’ is divided into three parts:
Section One begins by comparing rules and fairness, then has students explore those concepts, working together to come up with rules to live together on a deserted island.
Section Two asks how we can change rules that are unfair and walks through the ways our government listens to people.
Section Three concludes with examples of kids who have changed the rules and the world by their efforts. Time at the end is provided for Q&A with the attorneys.
