DAY 6 CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, TUESDAY, AUGUST 9, 2005 DAY 6 NEW PRESIDENT PLANS CIVICS LESSON Greco Launches Commission Designed to Teach Americans About Separation of Powers BY STEPHANIE FRANCIS WARD Titled "Civics Education," the study was released Monday morning at a press conference led by Michael S. Greco, who formally became ABA president later in the day. According to the telephone survey, 82 percent of the 1,002 adults polled felt that separation of powers is important, but only 45 percent correctly identified the concept. And only 48 percent of respondents correctly identified the role of the federal judiciary. The poll was conducted in July by Harris Interactive. In addition, only 55 percent of respondents correctly identified the three branches of government, and 36 percent could not identify the principle of checks and balances. The poll shows that most Americans understand that different branches of government have distinct roles, Greco said, but the numbers also demonstrate a need for more public education on how the principles work.

Here are some classroom ideas and lesson plans to help you teach Tennessee Civics How to setup a Peace Corner in your classroom Comparing Law Related Education programs Comparing Peaceable Schools objectives and the corresponding objectives and competencies of Terra Nova Comparing Second Step objectives and the corresponding objectives and competencies of Terra Nova Recently, many of you have asked about setting up a "peace corner" in your classrooms. Following are some questions and answers about the concept. If you already have a peace corner in your classroom, please e-mail (preferable) or fax (615) 884-5004 me with information that you'd like to share and we'll run it in the next edition of the newsletter. Such information might include who, what, why, and where or it could consist of anecdotes of your experiences. What is a "Peace Corner?" A peace corner is a little spot in your room, as free as possible from distractions, that is setup specifically to promote classroom peace and harmony. What happens in a peace corner and who goes there? The purpose of such a spot is to provide a quiet place where students can go to cool down, reflect on their behavior or participate in a negotiation or mediation. Students who use the corner are those who need to take a "time-out," either verbal or written for disruptive behavior; those who need to get away to cool down from a confrontation or those who need to negotiate with a fellow student or participate in a mediation.

In those abundant waters, local developers recently saw the potential for emerald golf greens and 800 permanent jobs in recreation.
