⚖️📚 Celebration Week Continues in Mrs. Wingate’s Class! 📚⚖️
Wednesday, students stepped into the courtroom to simulate a breach of contract case, taking on roles such as judge, jury, defendant, plaintiff, prosecutor, and defense attorney.
During pre-trial preparations, students carefully reviewed witness statements to identify disputed facts. Six students read the entire hearing aloud, while the rest of the class served as courtroom spectators. Afterward, the whole class became the jury, engaging in lively discussions and debates on each question presented during the trial.
In the end, a unanimous decision was reached—after much thoughtful deliberation! Activities like this show how learning can be interactive, fun, and collaborative, perfectly capturing the spirit of Adult Education & Family Literacy Week. 💙📖
