What are the recurring themes throughout the curriculum?
In the (OUT)LAW & ORDER curriculum, students explore significant concepts such as “honor,” “rugged individualism,” “reckless bravado,” and the “right of self defense.” These recurring themes are evident in events of westward expansion. In their plays, students have shown their grasp of these concepts and how they resonate in their lives today. From what they learn, students forge connections from these dictates of times past to the lives they are leading in the present, and in this process they discover that behavior and attitudes are often learned and can be changed.
