2018 Required SCOTUS Cases Ap GoPo (for 2019 Test Revision)Spring Break Presentation ProjectThere are a total of 15 Supreme Court Cases that are required by the AP Board this year. Each student will have a case, research it and create a presentation for the class to view and take notes on. Since we have 12 students in the class, everyone will get a case. Three cases from the list below (highlighted and underlined) will NOT be part of presentation projects. My assumption is ya’ll KNOW these backwards and forwards already…right?!?! I will give you time to look over the cases and then I will draw numbers to see who gets to chose their SCOTUS cases first. Required Cases: McCullough vs. Maryland, 1819 US vs. Lopez, 1995 Baker vs. Carr, 1962 Shaw vs. Reno, 1993 Marbury vs. Madison, 1803 Engel vs. Vitale, 1962 Wisconsin vs. Yoder, 1972 Tinker vs. Des Moines Independent Community School District, 1969 Schenck vs. US, 1919 New York Times Co. vs. NY, 1971 McDonald vs. Chicago, 2010 Gideon vs. Wainwright, 1963 Roe vs. Wade, 1973 Brown vs. Board of Education, 1954 Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission, 2010 Part A. Rubric for the Oral/Visual Presentation: (we will present within the first week back at school in Quarter 4, date to be determined by March 12th via email). You must have some sort of visual presentation to accompany your oral presentation. Each step below should be summarized in your visual, but please DO NOT just stand up and read your visual. You need to “speak from the heart”…knowledgeably. You will be scored on a scale for each of the bullet points from 1-20, with 20 being above average, excellent work. Max points on Part A=140 pts_____ 1. Introduce the historical time period in which your case is taking place. What was going on in our culture at the time (example: swing towards states’ rights? Progressive changes? Conservative resurgences? etc _____ 2. Give a detailed background of your case. What are the facts? Tell this story and make it interesting! _____ 3.

If there was a dissenting opinion, please explain the opposing viewpoint from the majority decision and why that may be important. If your decision had no dissenting opinion, explain why you believe that to be true._____ 6. Explain the main reasoning behind the case. What part(s) of the Constitution was used to interpret this case? ______7. Conclude with what precedent this case “created”. I.e. Federalism upheld, 14th Amendment redefined, etc. Part B. Comparison Cases: After the presentations are done and you have all filled out required paperwork, we are now going to introduce to you “Comparison cases”. :)***** BRAND NEW this year:) Let’s have some fun! Comparison Cases: The AP Board is now having you use the required cases and comparing them to recent cases that just came out of the Supreme Court. Your group's next step is to analyze these newer cases and how them compare to your court case overall. What are the similarities, what did SCOTUS uphold, or what did they strike down. You will be charged with adding on to your presentation. Below are the series of cases that relate to your case. Please follow the rubric after to complete this assessment. Rubric for Comparison Cases: (will be presented on a different day in April TBD)You will be scored on a scale for each of the bullet points from 1-20, with 20 being above average, excellent work. Max points on Part A=80 pts____ 1. Include the background of the comparison case you chose. ____ 2. What was the Constitutional issue/question in that case?____ 3.
