Day 5:

Corruption presentations – depending on how time went, you might be able to start this at the beginning of the period. If you have more than one student on an assigned corruption case, after they have all done their research I tell them to make a news script. One person is the news anchor in the studio, one is the reporter in the field. They both have to talk. I use the projected backgrounds on the board to make it fun. I get a fake microphone for them to use.
