Elicit non-trivial dialogue from students. Guide students to reflection and analysis of the experience. Encourage students to share their perceptions and beliefs. Summarize and review similarities and differences.
Analyze what happened.
Objective: To have students recognize the importance of understanding the concept of due process.
Activity: Teacher leads the discussion focusing on the following questions: Are these rules fair? Why or why not? What other school rules are unfair? How can students challenge rules they consider to be unfair? What procedures should exist to protect students who feel they are treated unfairly by teachers? Personal Witness: the teacher should sum up the discussion with a carefully thought out statement on her/his own feelings/experiences concerning due process. This step is of vital importance. If a teacher does not personally value the material to be taught and therefore cannot witness that value, s/he should not be teaching the course.
