Real World Problems- (Research) Abstraction Open Ended Processing - Paradox Essential Questions: What is a necessary evil Should laws be created to control greed Should personal wealth be limited?

Discuss where the recipe originated Who were the consumers Where were ingredients obtained Were they bought or produced Is this food product still consumed today If it is not or has has changed, is there anything like it today Provide an opinion why it still exists, has changed or no longer exists.Draw conclusions about what your findings suggest about the future of snack products sold today.ssdssssyour findings say about products today |

Real world problems Abstraction Proof and Reasoning What is considered property and when, if ever, does the US government have the constitutional right to seize it Student groups examine actual cases brought before the court and cross reference court rulings with the constitution. Student will simulate a case. Students will read court arguments and prepare simulations; the teacher will read the judges ruling after simulation. Students will write why or why not they agree with the ruling and provide reasons and citations. |
