On Trial: A Criminal Trial Simulation

This clever simulation, which teaches students about the workings of the trial system, puts the Big Bad Wolf on trial for destroying the pigs' houses. By assuming roles and using the nonscripted character profiles, students present information that has them wondering if the wolf is guilty or innocent. A jury of classmates will decide. The book, for grades 4_6, not only teaches about the judicial system, but also develops communication, cooperation, and evaluation skills.
