What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students identify rights such as free speech, protection from unreasonable searches, and access to a lawyer. They use short scenarios to decide which protection applies. They explain that due process requires the government to follow fair legal steps.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can link a questionable home search to the Fourth Amendment. They can explain why a city must give someone notice and a hearing before jailing them.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may think the Fourth Amendment bans every police search. They may think due process means a person must be found not guilty. Some assume free speech protects threats.
How to Assess It
- Exit ticket: A city jails someone without telling them the charge or giving them a hearing. Which later amendment protects due process here, and what fair steps are missing?
