Mock Trial
Attorneys! Your first task is to review the essays that have been shared with you. Defense attorneys are reading/skimming through all of the defense essays, and prosecuting attorneys are reading/skimming through all of the prosecution essays. Choose the best essay, but do NOT reveal which essay you have chosen. Only email ME to let me know.
Once you pick an essay, start forming opening and closing statements. You can refer to the youtube sample for help with wording things for the jury. Here is the link to the video I showed you in class -https://youtu.be/qtQDOQM4dM8
Your opening and closing arguments should be a paragraph each, and should mostly be ideas from the essay you chose.
We will prepare more on Friday after the WOW quiz.
