My Take

I found this app to be a good teaching tool. It was fun to play and had enough choice and variety that it was engaging, while still learning the amendments. The voice of the clients was the voice of high school students or younger, and some of the issues were ridiculous, and may seem below up level high school students. That aside, the app was a good learning tool, that made students think critically and have fun.

How I Use It

This is app is a fun way to get to know the amendments. By playing the game for a few minutes students can become familiar with each of the amendments without any prior knowledge. The app has a lots of ways students can review the amendments as they work. While the game speeds up quickly, it still allows for plenty of points to move from one game day to the next, so students don't get discouraged.

Great interactive game that teaches how our rights with amendments.

The is a great game that enhances the student's knowledge on the amendments. The game engages the students as they get to figure out whether they have the right to do things or not. I loved the fact that the game continually teaches. When you choose a right then you get to match the amendment. Furthermore, the game will explain the why the right and the amendment match. The students love playing this game. Once again, this should not be a main teaching tool but serves as a fun interactive way for the students to learn.

Run a law firm, no college required.

Overall I like this as a teaching tool as it provides some application of amendments to "case law". The game nature of it, with scores and some badges, or motivate kids to try more. Overall I would recommend this program.

Most engaging way to teach the Bill of Rights

The Bill of Rights can often be a stale and unexciting topic, especially for middle school students, so this has proven to be a fun and informative way for struggling students to improve their understanding of the concepts and advanced students to look at it from a critical standpoint.
