About this worksheet
Students write two short explanations in this 4th grade civics sheet, both built on Point, Evidence, Explain, Link. The model argues that laws keep people safe, using speed limits in neighborhoods and school zones as the example. Paragraph 1 asks how laws keep things fair, with hints about property, businesses, and public spaces, and gives a starter for each step. Paragraph 2 imagines a town that gets rid of all its laws. The 3 pages match C3 Framework D2.Civ.3.3-5, and the answer key offers model paragraphs on shoplifting and missing traffic lights.
