To make this foldable you will need to cut six college ruled lines below the middle hole punch. I think this is about an inch and a quarter. Turn the paper so the hole punch side is down and make your window pane fold (you will bring the outside edges to the middle and make two folds). Then have students make on cut in the middle on each side.
This is the finished product:
The foldable will read left to right, top to bottom. The first (top left) has a big 1 (first). Then write level of Virginia Courts. Then the next one will have a big 2 on it and will read Second level of Virginia Courts. Do the same for the 3rd and 4th.
The information I put inside I got from notes I took at a Civics summit at the Capitol Building that I attended this past fall.
The first level of Virginia Courts is General District Courts. The outside flap should read "Virginia District Courts, incudes small claims and juvenile and domestic relations court." The inside flap should read "Custody disputes, minor traffic, caes up to $2500, no jury"
Second flap, outside should read "Virginia Circuit Court". The inside part should read "Appeals from General District, original for felonies, has a jury".
The next flap should be "Virginia Court of Appeals". The inside should read "Appeals from circuit court, no jury".
The last flap's outside flap should read "Virginia Supreme Court". The inside flap should read "appeals from court of appeals, no jury".
Please feel free to add or change as you feel your students need to know.
Remember, have your students write their name on the back!
Happy teaching!
