Let's Connect, Extend & Challenge what you know about the First Amendment

The Isle of Ink and Quill

Connect: Is it important to be able to share your opinions, even if others disagree? Why or why not?

Extend (The Hazelwood Case): Some student journalists wrote articles about teen pregnancy and divorce, but the principal wouldn't let them publish them. Why not?

Challenge: Are there ever situations where free speech might be limited in school (or even out of it)? For example, if someone wrote something mean or threatening?

Gideon's GambleYour neighbor, Mr. Garcia, gets arrested for vandalism at the local park. He can't afford a fancy lawyer to defend him in court. Should he be forced to represent himself in a trial with complicated legal procedures?

The Miranda Mishap Imagine you're walking home from school when a police officer flags you down because you "fit the description" of a suspected shoplifter. They take you down to the station for questioning.Based on the Miranda v. Arizona case what should the police officer do before questioning you?

Just like any good pirate deserves a fair trial, so too do citizens taken before the court. Lesson 4.02 held a treasure trove of knowledge about some landmark Supreme Court cases that protect the rights of the accused!

Fort of the Lawless

Will you solve the Miranda Mishap or attempt Gideon's Gamble?

Captain's Conundrum

Are there any situations where you think it might be okay to limit the rights of the accused? Why or why not?
