Law Enforcement I
Law Enforcement I (LE1) is a sophomore-level class that is one year long in my district after students have already taken Principles of Law. In addition, students will take Forensic Science or Criminal Investigations their junior year. Senior year, they will take Law Enforcement II as part of the Law Enforcement track in the Criminal Justice endorsement.Â
Teacher Notes on Unit Structure
Notes on Unit Structure:Â
I start class every single day with a Bellringer projected on the board made up of 5 questions usually over the unit's vocabulary
I end every class with an Exit Ticket, which is one question that students answer on the same document as the bellringer
I post a PDF of the Bellringer & Exit tickets on Thursday afternoon for any absent students
Bellringers & Exit Tickets are due on Friday
We always do guided notes on Monday
They turn them in after doing the notes
We play Kahoot & Quizlet Live the day before their test
