The activities selected should be varied to keep interest high and appropriate to the desired outcome. For example, doing a housing law case study might be interesting but would not be appropriate to teach negotiation with a landlord. In devising the activities section, law students should be particularly aware of classroom problems when teachers lecture too much. A useful rule of thumb is to plan an activity for the major portion of each and every class. Activities that work particularly well in Street Law include roleplays, simulations, open-ended discussions, case studies, hypotheticals, group work, debate, high school student presentations, and value clarifying techniques such as opinion polls.
Evaluation is the next portion of the unit plan.
When the law students have completed this section of the unit plan, it is a good idea to return to the goals and trace through the objectives, methods and evaluation section to ensure there is continuity. Frequently, new instructors identify goals that are not served by objectives, methods or evaluation or include methods that serve no objectives or goals. Assignments should be made at every class. Consider required readings, written work and necessary preparation for classroom activities. Have students apply learned lessons to real life situations, for example they could poll fellow students outside of class on their opinions on legal topics.
