The Study Guide includes modular lesson plans for educators, user-friendly project ideas for students, and ready-to-implement programming ideas for community based organizations. It focuses on three main topics culled from the feature film The Conspirator: the constitutional right to a fair trial, the impact of a presidential assassination, and the historical treatment of women during the time of the Civil War.
