The lesson focuses on the "Constitutional responsibilities and powers of the Supreme Court." (USA: EdSitement 2020)

Created in 2019 by Kathryn Milschewski, this lesson plan is particularly relevant to high school civics and history teachers.

The curriculum is designed to introduce students to the Supreme Court's role in context with the other branches of government and includes guiding questions, four classroom activities, handouts, and reference materials.

The first activity introduces students to the Court's purpose and function, while the second and third activities focus on analyzing and arguing court cases (with an emphasis on freedom of speech). Finally, the fourth activity provides materials for a "Supreme Court simulation," where students take on the roles of justices, attorneys, clerks, and more.
