Concept Chairs / A Format for Classroom Discussion

This is a culminating activity that provides a format so that all participants are drawn into a discussion.

The discussion for the "Concept Chairs" will be based on a unit of study that assesses the effectiveness of the Judicial System while examining various types of justice within society (social, personal and constitutional). Primary texts, fictional literature and non-print sources will provide the basis for this discussion.
