Description This website is dedicated to the death penalty. It addresses the history of the death penalty, arguments for and against, court cases and additional resources. The site includes two sample unit plans for teachers. Each of the units involves an extensive amount of group work, simulations, persuasive and individual essay writing, and class participation. The units have been designed with the current NCSS (National Council for the Social Studies) Standards in mind. They are comprehensive two-week units. The curriculum encourages on-line student involvement in activities that closely resemble the experiences of ordinary citizens encountering this issue. The simulations are designed so students can actively participate in democratic decision-making. There is also a separate student site.
