SUPREME+COURT+CASE+PRESENTATIONS

=Your last MAJOR assignment of the semester will be an individual presentation on LANDMARK CASES of the United States Supreme Court.=

= READ ALL OF THE DIRECTIONS BELOW!!! =

Below is a series of court cases, you should choose one that somewhat interests you - if it doesn't intrest you fake that it does. We will NOT double up on the cases, and again it is first come first serve for requests. Fill out the link below once you have made your selection.

LANDMARK CASES [|What cases did you choose?] (MAKE REQUESTS HERE)

// All Classes - Who is doing what case? (Only the first case being research is listed) //

Here is what you will do for your presentation:
 * Give a **14- 15 minute presentation**
 * You may use ONE index card for reference


 * Present facts and significance of cases
 * Notice you must do BOTH cases that are listed. For examples a student who chose Morse v. Frederick would also present the case that was listed with it - TInker v. Des Moines.


 * **Analyze**, **compare** and **contrast t**he cases
 * What makes this a "LANDMARK CASE?" What impact has the decision made on American society?
 * How are these cases related? Similarities? Differences?
 * Did the court reaffirm lower rulings or change everything?
 * [|Get on your "soapbox!"]Share how you feel about the rulings / cases!
 * After your research is done - what are your thoughts? Think, think, think!


 * Use some type of visual (Prezi, Google Docs, Keynote... I don't care as long as it works)
 * No iMovie!
 * Text on your visual should be kept to a minimum besides identifying what you are identifying


 * **This should be an AP - College level presentation. EXPECTATIONS ARE HIGH!**
 * You will lose ONE letter grade for going shorter than the required time
 * Understanding your topic is obviously very important, but how you present is equally important!
 * The ability to present confidently & effectively will have a major impact on your score!
 * You will lose TWO letter grades for not being prepared on your assigned day

Check out the rubric for how you will be scored...

I do NOT expect this to be huge homework assignment - but it will probably take some outside class time!

You will be given several days to work on this assignment in class - BUT if class time is being wasted, we will turn move onto new material, and your presentation prep can take place on your own time.

We will work on this Tuesday, April 2, Wednesday, April 3, Thursday, April 4 & possibly, Monday, April 8th.

Presentations will begin on Wednesday**, April 10th** - and we will have a lottery on **Tuesday, April 9th** to determine presentation order.
