Mock Trials: Classic Tales

Are you looking for an engaging and creative way to harness the power of persuasion and argument? Here is a bundled pack for two mock trials: The Murder Trial of Al T. Wolf and Cinderella and the Case of the Missing Glass Slipper.

Each trial takes approximately five days to complete in class. I have planned out three days of trial preparation and about two days of courtroom action! Students love this activity. It's a favorite every year! Not only does it teach persuasive techniques in a real-world setting, but it also helps students practice those speaking and listening standards as well. This activity has played out in many different ways depending on how far your students take it and the unique theories they create!

I can't wait to hear how this goes for you in your classrooms!
