Students will evaluate what makes a good rule.  The common “no weapons allowed” school rule is tested through a variety of scenarios.  Students place themselves on a line to express their opinion regarding the application of the rule to the situation.  Factors for evaluating rules are part of the lesson.

Objectives:

• Students will learn to evaluate what is necessary for a good rule.
• Students will deliberate on how to apply a rule to facts.
• Students will come to an opinion and defend it.
