LRE Ideas and Lessons on Citizenship/Law-Related Education.
Hawaii State Dept. of Education, Honolulu. Office of Instructional Services.
Intended as springboards to help secondary school teachers implement lessons and activities in citizenship and law-related education (LRE), the lessons in this booklet represent a sampling of ideas that can readily be used in social studies and other courses to supplement and reinforce the development of selected concepts and skills. Goals stated in the introduction include (1) the increased understanding of the social, political, and legal institutions, values, processes, and principles of constitutional democracy; (2) the development of skills necessary to function as effective and responsible citizens; and (3) the understanding of and willingness to use democratic processes and procedures when participating in decision making and management of conflict. Fourteen lessons follow a discussion about the infusion of citizenship/law-related education, the conceptual basis of LRE lessons, the value of developing critical thinking skills, and basic principles and assumptions underlying LRE. Each lesson includes an overview, objectives, time requirements, materials needed, and procedures. Student handouts are provided where appropriate. Teaching strategies include the use of games, case study analysis, group discussion, student reading, and participation in conflict resolution situational activities. (LH)
