Starter

Agenda
1. Study Groups: "Practice Application" Activity: Discuss the various social/political dilemmas through the lens of each philosophy

• Take notes if you feel it will be useful for your test prep.

2. Whole class discussion on the "practice application" activity as needed

3. Test Prep "Stations"

Station 1: Flashcards
Make flashcards that include:

• Key terms on one side, definition/explanation on the other
• Philosophy on one side, name of philosophers on the other
• Big idea of philosophy on one side, name of philosophy on the other

Station 2: Review your notes
Review the powerpoint lecture, your notes, your study group's notes and/or key passages from Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do? As you do so, jot down questions you have.  Try to get help from peers/Ashley in answering those questions.

Station 3:  More application!
With a small group, come up with your own moral dilemmas.  These can be hypothetical situations like the Trolley Car dilemma, or they can be real political issues like Hurricane Charlie and price gouging, etc...  Work together to discuss how various philosophers would justify what they think the most just course of action or governmental policy would be.  Be sure to use the key terms associated with each philosophy in your explanations.
