Today's objectives:
By the end of today's lesson, students will begin to develop their thinking around our Unit 3 essential question: What is the proper role of our government institutions? Why?
Agenda:
1) Students will read four different articles on recent laws and government regulations: the SF Happy Meal Law, the government crackdown on Four Loko alcoholic beverages, the increased regulation of for-profit private colleges, and the California ban on selling violent video games to minors.
2) Students will participate in two Socratic seminars: once as a participant and once as a member of the audience.
HW: Read article on Murkowski's write-in campaign and write at least three questions you'd be interested in asking our guest speaker tomorrow.
