  • As part of the Grade 4 study of US history and government and their investigation of the Constitution, students were assigned one of the following landmark Supreme Court education cases:⁣ ⁣Brown v. Board of Education⁣ ⁣Tinker v. Des Moines⁣ ⁣Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District⁣ ⁣Wisconsin v. Yoder⁣ ⁣Engel v. Vitale⁣ ⁣Lemon v. Kurtzman⁣ ⁣They researched the cases independently and wrote an expository piece about their assigned case. They then collaborated with two other classmates assigned the same case and wrote a script for an iMovie providing the background about the case, discussing both sides of the case, the outcome, and the ultimate lasting impact of the Supreme Court’s decision. Students curated relevant pictures and created and shared iMovies. Finally, they presented these important Supreme Court cases at a Parent Breakfast this morning. #friendslscurriculumstories
