CCSS: Adaptable
Instructional Ideas
  • Rather than revise all the documents to reflect laws in other states, run the simulation as is and explain that the issues would remain the same from state to state
Classroom Considerations
  • Designed for North Carolina students, the activity may be adapted to other schools in other states, but links to the agencies in these states would need to be provided for the homework readings
Pros
  • The 18-page packet includes a detailed lesson plan, worksheets, graphic organizers, role cards, and links to additional resources
Cons
  • All documents, links, and descriptions are based on North Carolina law
