Horizons 2011 (ages 9-14): You Be the Judge
(Entertainment)
Instructors: Will and Jill Miller, Department of Political Science
How would you like to be lead counsel in the Big Bad Wolf’s criminal trial? Did he eat the bacon or was he framed? Was Little Red Riding Hood really the victim…or were there extenuating circumstances that have yet to come to light? Would you like to be the judge? Learn how a real criminal trial operates as we take famous “characters” to court. In this exciting simulation, students will form teams for both the prosecution and defense, act as presiding judges, witnesses and defendants, and serve on juries. Prosecutors and the defense will learn how to offer evidence and how to shape a good argument. Judges and jury will determine how to listen critically for the truth, and everyone will have loads of fun.
