I am learning how to more effectively teach themes that engage students in a way that is more interesting than traditional teaching methods. In an attempt to empower twenty-first century learners, constant reinforcement of information is so important. My students, being NYC students, need to know how the world around them works.
They need a way to review the content and topics that interest them in a format that they will find interesting.
They are in this three year Law Academy hoping to leave it with a love for law. Students learn best when they themselves can learn in an environment where they have information that best speaks to their interests. Learning about the law can be dense; learning through reading about important concepts, they will connect with the content.
I want my students to be able to make sense of the world around them. We, as educators, need to find more ways to relate the content to something they know. Please don't allow my students to have this limitation in their education. Please help my students to be able to learn in a way that is more comfortable and suitable for their

Students, especially those learning about the law at such a young age, have a difficulty making connections to the world around them. By gaining the knowledge of how the American Legal System has changed the lives of American teens, maybe they will understand it better.
Kids deserve a chance to understand how the American Criminal Justice System effects anyone in the country, especially teens.
They will use this text, along with the United States Constitution in order to understand the world around them and to understand why the teens they read about were treated the way they were.
