Students examine short translated excerpts, textbook sections, and prior discussion notes to pull quotes and paraphrases into their Justinian Investigation Notebook. The teacher models how to label each note with source title, page or section, and one category tag such as fairness, safety, or power. Teams then compare which pieces best show changes in law, government, or social order and flag one contradictory example worth keeping.
