4th 9 Weeks Unit 4: Justice Unit 5: Building Cultural Bridges
Everyone must deal with issues of justice. What is a fair consequence for breaking a rule in class? Do students have freedom of speech in school? Should the principal be allowed to search lockers randomly? Students have examined culture through many lenses. Students can define a culture by its beliefs about what is right and wrong—its sense of justice. Different cultures may have different standards and methods for arriving at justice, but every society has to ask the questions about what is right and fair. Unit 4 presents nonfiction, drama, and art from around the world and across time that ask the key question: What is justice?
