Target: apply public, fair and consistently enforced law criteria to a bounded situation. Prepare: Cards A/C and fairness lens.
- Launch · 2 min. Ask whether a hidden room rule can be fairly followed, even if the venue wants quiet.
- Model · 4 min. Use the PEO rule-of-law ideas: accessible, understandable rules; fair application; those with authority also obey law. Avoid saying every inconvenient private rule breaches the constitutional rule of law.
- Guided reading · 5 min. On Card A, compare posting a clear study-room sign versus telling only some visitors. On Card C, contrast seeking evidence with naming a learner guilty from proximity alone.
- Practice route · 7 min. Select Day 2 route. Identify an effectiveness criterion, one affected viewpoint, a consequence and a proportionate change.
- Audit · 4 min. A peer says “fair means no consequence.” Learner distinguishes fair notice/process from automatic exemption and asks whose viewpoint is missing.
- Exit · 3 min. “Name one thing a fair system checks before a consequence.” Key: a known rule, relevant evidence and a chance to respond as appropriate to the process.
