Matt Johnson: This lesson is a culminating activity. It's not something that's going to be foreign to these students. They've done this kind of thing before. This lesson reinforces a lot of the activities we've been doing all year. We like to discuss the Supreme Court cases and get the students thinking about why the Court ruled [in a particular] way [and] what might have changed in 10 years to result in the Court reversing the decision.
