- Summary:
-
This teacher's curriculum guide has been designed to provide high school students with an increased awareness of the importance of responsibility in their own lives and its place in contemporary society, and to encourage their capacity and inclination to deal with issues of responsibility wisely and effectively. Students are asked to examine and make decisions about responsibility in specific situations by learning to apply sets of intellectual tools. The introduction to the teacher's guide discusses the rationale for the Law in a Free Society Program, the organization of the Responsibility Curriculum, the use of intellectual tools in analyzing issues of responsibility, helpful hints for conducting class discussions, and how to encourage cooperative learning. The curriculum is organized into four units comprising a total of 10 lessons. Unit 1 is designed to help students understand the importance of responsibility to society and the individual, the numerous sources from which responsibility arises, and the varied ways in which responsibility is promoted in society. Unit 2 helps students understand that the fulfillment of responsibility usually involves both benefits and costs. Unit 3 is designed to increase students' ability to make informed choices among competing responsibilities, interests, and values, and to evaluate decisions made by others. Unit 4 focuses on a different use of the concept "responsibility"--that of referring to a person or groups that have been (or are) responsible for something that has happened. For each of the 10 included lessons, the teacher's guide contains an overview, objectives, materials needed, and teaching procedures. (DB)
