Item description
For an entire year, I searched for the perfect mock trial for elementary school students until I created this one. This resource can go along side any book. Possible mock trial cases for elementary school students include – 3 Little Pigs, Harry Potter, The Grinch, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, etc.
This resource will engage your students while teaching them about the court system.
They will practice persuasive/argumentative writing, supporting that writing with textual evidence, speaking/listening, questioning skills, connecting with literary texts and more.
This resource could also be used to create a classroom transformation.
Included in this resource:
-Powerpoint Slides (People of the court system, Opening Statements, Closing Statements, Types of Evidence, Questioning Witnesses, Role of the Jury, & How a courtroom is set up)
-Flap book (People of the US Court System)
-List of Helpful Videos & Resources
-Role Sheet
-Order of Events
-Opening & Closing Statement Organizers
-Mock Trial Script
-Evidence
-Evidence Templates
-Questioning Witnesses Organizer
-Jury Note Sheet
-Juror Badges, Name Plates, & Courtroom Seal Template
