Community reviews for Do I Have a Right?

I found this app to be a good teaching tool. It was fun to play and had enough choice and variety that it was engaging, while still learning the amendments. The voice of the clients was the voice of high school students or younger, and some of the issues were ridiculous, and may seem below up level high school students. That aside, the app was a good learning tool, that made students think critically and have fun.

The is a great game that enhances the student's knowledge on the amendments. The game engages the students as they get to figure out whether they have the right to do things or not. I loved the fact that the game continually teaches. When you choose a right then you get to match the amendment. Furthermore, the game will explain the why the right and the amendment match. The students love playing this game. Once again, this should not be a main teaching tool but serves as a fun interactive way for the students to learn.

Overall I like this as a teaching tool as it provides some application of amendments to "case law". The game nature of it, with scores and some badges, or motivate kids to try more. Overall I would recommend this program.

The Bill of Rights can often be a stale and unexciting topic, especially for middle school students, so this has proven to be a fun and informative way for struggling students to improve their understanding of the concepts and advanced students to look at it from a critical standpoint.

Students were required to read the directions and information in order to solve the problems in this interactive game. There were times that students were stuck on the next step, but most of the times it was due to not reading or following directions. "Do I Have a Right" offered a simulation that helped students understand the connection between government funds, citizen demands and how to balance the two. A modeled lesson at the beginning was helpful to get the students started in the game, especially if reading was difficult for students.
