Supreme Court Case Due March 5th 2015 Project – Mr. Megna has been selected to be director of a judicial review committee for the

Supreme Court. We will be reviewing Supreme Court cases to see if we need to change their rulings. I need your help to find out more information about these cases. Your job is to select a Supreme Court case that you are interested in. You are not allowed to do a case we did in class already or something you really know like Brown v. Board of Education. Give as much information as you can. Design an original political cartoon for the case you will be working on with a report and presentation.What I need from you is a:• Report from you on the Supreme Court Case you are reviewing & I need a poster or

power point on it. (Be creative.)• You will be expected to present your evidence to the class during a debriefing

session (Oral Presentation) • You will need an original political cartoon to represent the court case you are

reviewing. • Use Textbook, Internet, and Library etc…• All projects must be typed (12 point Times New Roman / double space)• At least 2 pages or more typed • Needs to have a reference section tell me where you received your information

from.• Projects must be put on a poster – have some photos, make it look good. / You can

also do a power point presentation if you chose.• Students will have to present their projects in class
