This lesson plan explores the death penalty by engaging students in discussions, research, and a structured debate. It covers both pro and con arguments, ethical and legal implications, and provides opportunities for students to evaluate case studies. Students will watch a City Club video, participate in group discussions, and develop informed opinions through research and debate.
