Judicial+Branch


 * American Government** - The Judicial Branch Supreme Court

Telling the story of a Supreme Court Case is powerful way to connect to the highest court in the land. The projects should be 4 to 5 minutes in length and cover all of the points outlined in your RUBRIC. Students will collect pictures to assist them in telling the story of the Supreme Court case they select. Only **one** person in each class may work on a case. **Remember, you will have to cite your sources in a separate document and turn it in to your teacher, so keep track of where your information comes from.**

 * Don't overlook primary sources for information and images from magazines, newspapers, and basic images that describe the case. You are telling a story, Imagery is very important, and should be powerful and illustrate your point, not just the case.** **Remember, you will have to cite your sources in a separate document and turn it in to your teacher, so keep track of where your information comes from.**

Think outside the box, you are telling a story, not creating a historical movie. Images can be static, or they can be actual images from the time period, beware of copyright infringement. You do not need every picture to be a historical reference, as long as they add to the story. Example: a school with its doors chained shut can tell the story of segregation, just as a picture of Martin Luther King marching can.
