Five of our middle school students participated in the annual Mock Trial Boot Camp at Riverside HS last week with other students from the Beaver County Gifted Consortium.
At the boot camp, students learned the inner workings of a courtroom for both criminal and civil cases. After learning about the different roles through various workshops, students then planned to conduct their own court case in "The State vs. The Big Bad Wolf."
Two of our students participated as lawyers for the prosecution, two for the defense team, and one as a juror. In the end, the defense won, and the Big Bad Wolf was set free. It was a great learning experience for all!
