To the Teacher

The Supreme Court Case Studies booklet contains 82 reproducible Supreme Court case studies.

These cases include landmark decisions in American government that have helped and continue

to shape this nation, as well as decisions dealing with current issues in American society. Every

case includes background information, the constitutional issue under consideration, the court¡¯s

decision, and where appropriate, dissenting opinions.

Each two-page study requires students to analyze the case and apply critical thinking skills.

An answer key is provided in the back of the booklet.

Creating a Customized File

There are a variety of ways to organize Glencoe Social Studies teaching aids. Several

alternatives in creating your own files are given below.

? Organize by category (all activities, all tests, etc.)

? Organize by category and chapter (all Chapter 1 activities, all Chapter 1 tests and

quizzes, etc.)

? Organize sequentially by lesson (activities, quizzes, tests, for Chapter 1/Section 1,

Chapter 1/Section 2, etc.)

No matter what organization you use, you can pull out individual worksheets from these
