Mock Trial Reflection

I mainly liked the mock trial. At the very beginning of this week Rob handed us the packets and briefly went over it. When he was done I thought to myself I did not understand one word he said and how in the heck am I gonna be abel to do this. That night (for homework) I read over the packets and it started to make more sense, but I still didn’t know how we would reenact this trial.

Luckily the next day John (the man who was setting this up and the judge) came in for most of the morning and explained to us what we where doing, how were and we went over it a few time which made me fell much more confidant.

Next was the day of the trial. Our homework for last night was to go over our lines and stuff. Unfortunately my group went first (which is unfortunate because I didn’t want to go first). I felt nervous but also calm because I knew all my lines (and a few people where messing up which made me feel better) Finally it was turn for my first big part I made a few small mistakes, but I felt I did a good job. My second (and last) big part came up and I/it/ felt much easier thank to my first part.

I thought this was a fun and interesting project because firstly of all we got the learn about court and how it and the people in it work. Secondly the religion and evolution in it tied in with what were learn this trimester. Lastly it gave us some background information on what we will be learn this trimester.

I thought everyone did great and had fun doing it and that what I liked most about this project.
