Juvenile Justice

Read the articles that have been given to you assuming that everything that the author says is true.

First Reading

Should juveniles be punished less harshly than adults?

Do you think that execution should be banned from some age groups of juveniles? Which ones?

Do you agree with Lundstrom that it is inconsistent to deny privileges like voting and drinking to teenagers but then to sentence them as adults? Why?

Do you agree with Lundstrom that the media is perpetuating the stereotype of violent youths, or is it a real problem in our society? What makes you think this?

Reading Questions

Read the articles again, but this time consider what might not be inherently true. Write a question mark in the margin whenever you come across something that you think might not be right.

Also, as you read write in the margins (or annotate) any thoughts you have as you read—questions, comments, thoughts.

After you have finished reading consider how this second reading may have influenced your thinking.

Rereading

Break the article “Startling finds on Teenage Brains” into sections. Draw a line between Paragraph 3 &4, 4 &5, 7&8, and 9&10.

This should have broken the article up into 5 different sections.

On a separate sheet of paper, write a brief 2-3 sentence summary of each section.
