(Out)Laws & Justice (formerly (Out)Law & Order) is
an eighth-grade interdisciplinary curriculum of history/social
studies, language arts and drama. Students explore core American
values of honor, justice, rugged individualism and the right of
self-defense that formed public policy and individual behavior during
19th century westward expansion, and the legacy of those values in
their own lives today. Students then dramatize what they learn in
original plays that they write and perform.
(Out)Laws & Justice is a project of Community Partners
a
nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization recognized by the Internal
Revenue Service.
Funding
is provided by private donations.
Contributions are tax-deductible.

Every person in the world has a family tree.
What can you learn about your ancestors from the
history you’re studying now?
When you make a family tree, you can start to get a
picture of how you came to be who are you now, and give
you some clues to think about how you want to be in your
future.
