High schoolers investigate the dilemma of a proportional response with a lesson about the history of terrorism and militant extremists in the United States. As they examine memos from the FBI and speeches from President Bush and Obama, class members build a comprehensive grasp on the issue and eventually write an argumentative essay with textual evidence.
