Mock Trial Civil Case Kit

Everything you need to stage a simplified classroom mock trial TODAY in one folder. This kit will help you make a plan to put students into groups, assign roles, either use time in class to further investigate or use the script to assign roles and get started right away moving through the Court Day.

Included:

-Website links

-Jury Assignment

-Vocabulary terms assignment (and video lecture example)

-"How I Use" explainer

-Video link example of the "Snapchat" version we made

I use this resource to:

• Teach pertinent Civil Case vocabulary
• Help students use SEL skills like thinking from another person’s perspective
• Review (from an earlier unit) the basic steps of using evidence from a text to make a persuasive argument.
• Get students UP and THINKING and HAVING FUN!
