3Rs Lesson Four Teaching Tips

Please review the full email for important 3Rs information!

  

This Friday, Jan. 24, is the regularly scheduled 3Rs Lesson Four classroom visit - Due Process.  The Lesson Four materials were packaged along with Lesson Three materials picked up earlier in the month.  If you need more copies of Lesson Four materials, you may download a PDF of the student worksheets by clicking here, or let us know and we will be happy to provide you with more worksheets.


Time management: Prepare in advance!  Read the materials for Lesson Four, know what is included and be sure to cover the materials in small groups rather than in full lecture format.  This lesson covers Due Process concepts. 


School closings: We encourage you to check with the schools the day of your 3Rs class in case inclement weather has forced the school to close.  Phone numbers for the schools may be found on the information sheet sent to you attached to your original assignment email.  To check for closings online, click here.  If you discover your school has been closed on Friday, please notify your captain and teammates and Jessica Paine at (216) 696-3525 x4462.  Team captains are asked to reschedule 3Rs lessons cancelled due to school closings according to your teacher and teammates' preferences.


3Rs lessons online: Videos of full 3Rs lessons have been posted on the 3Rs page online under the Volunteer Resources tab at www.clemetrobar.org/3Rs. The video for Lesson Four (Due Process) features U.S. District Court Judge Dan Polster as well as 3Rs volunteer and curriculum contributor Carter Strang teaching this month's lesson.  These videos may be used as additional resources for volunteers and students pre- and post-lessons. Alternately, volunteers who choose to do so and have time may bring laptops with them to class to share parts or all of the videos with the students. Students should be encouraged to view the videos at home or at the library.

 

Team feedback: Your feedback is vital to the program. Team captains: please let us know about your experience during the first three visits, especially names of teammates whom you were unable to contact and any issues that need to be resolved before Friday's lesson.

 

Questions, concerns, feedback: Please contact us by email or telephone - Jessica Paine at [email protected] or (216) 696-3525 x4462.

 

Thank you again for your commitment to the students!
