First Amendment "Fake" Supreme Court Case Activity
By Nemos Nook
Introduce your students to the complexities of Constitutional Law with this engaging and interactive worksheet! Students will step into the shoes of Supreme Court Justices to analyze a fictional First Amendment case.
This a fun activity when teaching about the First Amendment and/or the Supreme Court. This resource has students analyze a "fake" law that has been challenged all the way to the Supreme Court as violating the First Amendment. Students need to decide, based on the facts given and the language of the First Amendment, whether the law is Constitutional.
They also need to write an "opinion" of the Court and present to the class or submit for a grade. I usually have them do this in groups, but could also be done individually as a short assessment.
Features:
(This activity is not necessarily looking for a correct answer, but is looking to assess how well students understand and can analyze the language of the First Amendment based on a given set of facts).
This can usually be done in one 50 minute class period.
