What educators are saying
This is a fun resource for practicing argumentative skills. My students had a great time with their courtroom scenarios.
I have been looking for a fairy tale court case activity for years! This resource is so well designed, and the kids really get into it! I added some extra things to fit my kids needs, but the hard part of it is already done. This resource is well worth the price! I cannot wait to do it again!

Description
- My students had so much fun doing this, they didn't want it to end! Four Disney villains are being brought to court with charges and your students will either prosecute or defend them in "court":
- Ursula - The Little Mermaid: Fraud & Exploitation
- Scar - The Lion King: Manslaughter & Environmental Crimes
- Gaston - Beauty & The Beast: Attempted Murder & Inciting a Riot
- Lady Tremaine - Cinderella: Emotional Abuse/Neglect & Exploitation
Assign your students to be prosecutors and defenders with their own custom files. Each team has their own responsibilities and will need to craft their argument well to win the judge & jury.
-Reinforce learning of claim, support, point of view and more!
- Students need to support their claims with facts from the movie. Perfect for an argumentative unit!
*Lesson has been adapted with extensive sentence stems and examples. Teacher made examples are also included. This is a scaled activity that all students can do without too much teacher intervention.
