Additional Resources
Mock trials are designed to focus on the literature that the students are reading in the classroom. The goal is to enrich the students’ learning experience with the literature while teaching them about the American government and its judicial system.
We also provide lessons for your read aloud activities. These companion materials feature helpful reflections essential to cultivating successful and engaging read alouds for our youngest citizens.
