Assumptions
The following assumptions guide the proposed activities:

- recognize China's socioeconomic and human rights issues
- have a solid grasp of the impact of China's development on the nation's citizens.
Teacher Preparation
Preview THE PEOPLE'S COURT and related online content before presenting them to your class. Decide whether the class will view the entire video or specific segments (others than those noted in the lesson) to expand lesson concepts and topics.
Bookmark relevant Web sites on each computer in your classroom, and/or create a handout that lists recommended sites and resources that supplement the lesson; or upload all links to an online bookmarking utility, such as www.portaportal.com, so that students can access the information on these sites. Make sure that your computer has the necessary media players, like RealPlayer, to show streaming clips (if applicable).
Provide students with necessary background on China to fill knowledge gaps or refresh their memories on topics relevant to the lesson plan.
