Abstract	This is volume two of a two-volume civics curriculum on law and effective citizenship for upper-elementary students. The lessons, set in American historical eras, engage students in cooperative-learning activities, role plays, simulations, readers theater, stories, and guided discussions, which introduce and reinforce law-related and civic education concepts and skills. Designed to meet the needs of a multi-centered student population, this curriculum features step-by-step teaching procedures, reproducible worksheet and activity masters, lessons linking the historical and law-related content to the present, and service-learning opportunities. This volume contains four units and 21 lessons in total. In unit 1, "Immigration, Diversity, and Equal Protection," students use the methods of historiography to trace the immigrant origins of five families whose ancestors came to America seeking opportunity and freedom and struggled for equality. In unit 2, "Due Process," students visit a hypothetical New England village of the colonial era and learn essential lessons about due process. In unit 3, "Authority," students explore the concepts of authority by helping a tired king rule his kingdom and view the causes of the American Revolution through the eyes of Bostonians as the colonies moved toward independence. In unit 4, "Rights and Responsibilities," students learn about the rights and responsibilities of citizenship by helping James Madison draft the Bill of Rights and also about the appropriate limits of those rights. As a conclusion, students create their own Bill of Rights and Responsibilities. (EH)
