Social studies and government teachers may want to bookmark this site as they dive into spring semester curriculum planning. Curated by the American Bar Association's Division for Public Education, the lesson portal contains an array of materials that build a foundation for how the legal system affects various aspects of our lives. Lessons are arranged by elementary, middle, and high school grade levels. Though the content covered for each level varies slightly, some topic areas include Civic Engagement, Due Process, and Law and Literature. Educators preparing for Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday, January 18, may enjoy the Equal Protection lesson plans, which include "Realizing the Dream Today" (specifically analyzing aspects of his vision for equality). Educators looking ahead to Constitution Day (celebrated each September) will find constitutional law-themed curriculum available for each grade level. In addition to these educator-specific resources, the Division for Public Education also produces a variety of tools for the general public that may be of interest to all readers.
