Some controversies arise when our shared values and principles conflict with one another. Police “stop-and-frisk” policy is one such issue. In stop-and-frisk, police officers stop, question, and conduct a pat-down search of pedestrians or occupants of cars. This unit will allow students the opportunity to explore and evaluate this issue through a variety of nonfiction sources, evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of the authors’ arguments. The focus of this unit is on the close reading of texts, and on building and supporting an argument.
This Unit contains 4 lessons:
Lesson 1: Stop-and-frisk Overview
Lesson 2: Analysis of Court Opinion
Lesson 3: Stop-and-frisk Evaluating the Positions
Lesson 4: Stop-and-frisk Debate
