Benchmark: SS.7.C.3.10 - Identify sources and types (civil, criminal, constitutional, military) of law.
Learning Goal: Students will understand the differences between civil, criminal, constitutional and military law.
Last week, we began talking about why we have laws and their purpose in our society. As we saw in some of our skits, the world would get pretty hectic without some. Today we are going to be investigating some specific types of laws: Civil Law, Criminal Law, Military Law and Constitutional Law. Think back to our bell ringer and some of the laws you thought up, can you predict what type of laws they would be?
Our task today is broken down into three-parts in what I would like to call a "Jig-Collage-Wall," you will
understand more when we start our task.
