Today’s Morality and Politics of Justice Driving Question: 
What is the difference between a just and unjust law?

Today's Goals:
  • Begin to develop your perspective on whether a law is just or not
  • Reflect on our Voices from the Animas project
  • Produce and upload your Storycorps intervew
 
Starter #13
A. Respond to 2 of the following 4 prompts.  Write well-developed responses that show you're thinking about both sides of the issue but clearly defending your stance.
  1. Abortion should be illegal
  2. We should be required to wear our seat belts
  3. We should have laws
  4. We should obey the law

Class Biz
  • Seminar grades are in Powerschool and I gave you feedback on your self-assessment documents. Check those if you have any questions.
  • Homework for the week!  (see hmwk/calendar tab on my DP)
  • Who needs extensions? Show of hands.  Extensions granted to Friday. 

AGENDA
1. Today's Key Terms
JUSTICE (why are these definitions problematic?)
  • based on or behaving according to what is morally right and fair
  • getting what one deserves (punishment or reward)
  • fairness

CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE: The deliberate violation of a law for SOCIAL purpose (not individual or private gain) 

Food for thought: But why would someone protest laws?  How do we determine which laws are protest-worthy? (review civil disobedience images-- what made these folks protest?)

2. Review of guidelines for uploading StoryCorps interview and project reflection (see work time resources below)

(New students: Need help with your DP? Talk to me!)

3. Work Time

  • Produce and upload interview (see page 2 of this doc)
  • Complete final project reflection!  (see pages 2-3 of this doc). Send me the link to your DP when you're done.

4. Exit Ticket:  Work time quick check survey
