More Book Details

Description of the Book:

First disseminated in 1980, this newly revised Justice Education Teaching Strategies (JETS) curriculum guide is an effort to provide citizenship lessons for students in grades kindergarten through six. The new booklet provides up-to-date materials in both law and educational theory, and is more user friendly. The purpose of the literature-based JETS program is both to create an arena in which students can interact with literature and to make students conscious of the ways in which they are responsible members of their home and school environments. Using the materials in this guide, students develop skills that lead to a life-long ability to negotiate and mediate in the face of conflict. This manual is organized around the theme of conflict resolution. Each of four lessons include a literature-based conflict resolution exercise and address one major question: (1) What are rules and laws? (2) Are rules and laws everywhere? (3) To whom are we responsible?

and (4) How do we solve problems? Around each of these lesson questions there is a series of activities to help students develop their own answers. A mock trial is the culminating activity. Supporting materials, a glossary, and a supplemental book list conclude the guide. (LH
