Computer with Internet access Poster board, markers, or other materials to create a display Begin the lesson by defining "gun rights" and "gun control." What do supporters on each side of the issue believe? Advocates of gun control support stricter firearm laws: tougher background checks and longer waiting periods for those purchasing guns; mandatory child safety locks; a limit of one handgun purchase per month; and raising the legal age limit for ownership of guns to age 21 from the current age of 18. They believe these measures will curb the rise of gun-related violence. Advocates of gun rights say such legislation would infringe on the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens. The National Rifle Association, a prominent voice in the gun debate, says firearm-control measures are unnecessary if lawmakers would enforce current laws.

That's the first question in the "student reflection" portion of an optional new 22-page section called " Critical Analysis of Evolution ," which is part of Ohio's 547-page science curriculum. How could anybody object to such an innocuous question? Newspapers report a steady stream of news that scientists are questioning such dogmas as good cholesterol vs. bad cholesterol, vaccine links to autism, the causes of breast cancer, even fluoridation for children's teeth. Isn't the nature of science to question assertions and seek the proof from evidence? The Ohio State Board of Education approved the new curriculum by a vote of 13-5 after being persuaded by 22 Ohio scientists that the new lesson plan promotes academic freedom and that it is good for 10th grade students to have an inquiring mind about evolution. "Are we about teaching students how to think, or what to think?" asked one parent supporter of the lesson plan.

Lesson Sequence Deployment Divide the class into ten groups of three students each. Groups should be kept rather small in size to facilitate the creation of the i-movie. The recommended size is approximately 3-5 students depending on the number of students within the class. Strategies Take one - two classes to: Acquire the survey created by the mathematics class and ask your students to complete the surveys individually. Have your students, within their groups, look at the overall results of the surveys done by the student body and ask them to record which questions have the highest degree of inaccuracy. a) Use the information obtained by the History/ Geography and Biology classes to help assess the accuracy of the responses given in the surveys. b) Ask the students to discuss which questions used on the mathematical survey would be most interesting and provocative to use during their interviews. c) Have your students compare their responses to that of the rest of the grade. This will help your students see how knowledgeable or uninformed they are about the disease. Choose which style of i-movie your students should create.

A Teacher's Guide to Talking About: The Importance of Fair and Honest Campaign Conduct in Public Life Sponsored by Margaret Chase Smith Library Margaret Chase Smith Center for Public Policy, University of Maine Institute for Global Ethics INTRODUCTION In order to promote fair play in political campaigns, the Margaret Chase Smith Library and Margaret Chase Smith Center for Public Policy cosponsor the Maine Code of Election Ethics. Candidates for Governor, United States Representative, and United States Senator are invited to sign the code. Those who sign agree to avoid push polling; support campaign claims with documentation; take personal responsibility for campaign advertising; renounce the use of deceptions, half truths and falsehoods; refrain from engaging in personal attacks, innuendo, or stereotyping; and at all times, show compassion for opponents. The purpose of the Maine Code of Election Ethics is to encourage substantive issue-oriented campaigns that will educate the voter and improve the quality of public dialogue. As the campaigning heats up this fall, students need to be aware of the issues and the importance of the ethical character of our civil servants. There is opportunity in these discussions to identify five core values fundamental to our society: honesty, respect, responsibility, fairness and compassion.
