USG+Landmark+Cases

The process: First: Determine which case is your responsibility. (Click the link at the bottom of this page **AFTER** reading the following directions to get your assignment and links)

Second: Read about the background of the case (you will click "Background" next to your case title. You will see three levels of reading indicated by one dot (lowest), two dots (middle) and three dots (highest), start with level 2 and then read level 3. Check level 1 if you still have questions about your case.

Third, read a quick overview of the case and then learn how the Supreme Court decided the case by reading the information on the Oyez link.

Fourth: Write a paragraph that explains the topic, background and outcome of your case. (See the //Marbury v Madison// example on the second slide show if you have questions).

Fifth: Create an account with ToonDoo. Create a cartoon that is about your Landmark Case. (See the Marbury v Madison example below). When finished with the cartoon, KEEP IT PRIVATE and download a .jpg image or take a screenshot of it.)

Step 6 - On the Google presentation found here, post the paragraph about your case, then add your cartoon about your case. (Again, see the //Marbury v Madison// example on slide 2 if you have questions)

Before the start of class, May 2:
 * Your paragraph is to be completed before and posted to the slide with your name & case on it under step 6
 * Your cartoon should be finished.
 * If possible, post your cartoon. If not possible you will have 5 minutes to take a screenshot of your cartoon and post it at the start of tomorrow's class.
